Manipur's violence-hit people, seeking to return home, clash with security forces
Displaced individuals attempting to return to their homes in Imphal East district clashed with security forces. The security personnel used tear gas to disperse the crowd. These confrontations have occurred multiple times since the Sangai Festival commenced. The situation remains tense but under control.
Hundreds of displaced people, seeking to return to their homes, clashed with security forces in Manipur's Imphal East district on Saturday, officials said.
The displaced people, who have been staying at different relief camps after ethnic violence broke out in May 2023, were stopped by security forces at Yaingangpokpi when they were marching towards their homes at Gwaltabi, located on the periphery of the district.
As the situation escalated, security forces lobbed several rounds of tear gas shells to disperse the agitators.
One of the agitators, S Ibemcha Devi, said, "According to the government, normalcy has been restored in the state. Then, why are we not allowed to return to our homes?"
An official said the situation continues to remain tense but under control.
Such clashes between internally displaced persons (IDPs) and security forces have happened multiple times since the Sangai Festival began on November 21.
