Police will encounter rioters in Manipur, Army deployed in 8 districts

Manipur. In Manipur, the government has given shoot-at-sight orders to rioters who indulge in violence. Earlier, Section 144 was imposed in violence-hit areas. Internet service has been suspended in the state for the next 5 days. Actually, violence took place during the demonstration of tribals on Wednesday. After this curfew was imposed in 8 districts. 55 companies of Army and Assam Rifles have been deployed. 9000 people have been shifted to relief camps. Home Minister Amit Shah spoke to Chief Minister N Biren Singh over phone and inquired about the situation. Biren Singh issued a video message this morning appealing to the people to maintain peace. At the same time, the Center has also sent RAF teams for deployment in the violence-hit areas of the northeastern state. According to sources, five companies of RAF have been airlifted to Imphal, while another 15 general duty companies have been asked to be ready for deployment in the state.

The All India Tribal Student Union had called for a Tribal Solidarity March on Wednesday. Meanwhile, clashes broke out between tribal and non-tribal communities. The tribal community was protesting against the demand that Schedule Tribe (ST) status be given to the non-tribal Meitei community. The Manipur High Court has directed the state government to consider the demand of the Meitei community and send recommendations to the Center within 4 months. After this order, violence started between tribals and non-tribals. Mary Kom, who won the Olympic bronze for India in women’s boxing, shared some photos of the violence on social media. Although he did not mention when and where these pictures were taken. He wrote – My state is burning. Mary Kom said that the situation is very bad. It is unfortunate that some people lost their family members in the violence.
Police said that thousands of people took part in the tribal march. During this time violence broke out between tribals and non-tribals. To control the situation, the police also fired several rounds of tear gas shells, but the violence did not stop. After this the army and the Assam Rifles were called. Curfew has been imposed in Imphal West, Kakching Thoubal, Jiribam, Bishnupur, Churachandpur, Kangpokpi and Tengnoupal in the state. According to sources, five companies of Rapid Action Force (RAF) have been sent to the capital Imphal. About 15 companies of CRPF are already present in Manipur. Additional force has also been put on alert. Chief Minister Biren Singh said the reason for the violence was misunderstanding between the two communities. Long standing grievances will be properly resolved through people’s advice. Keep calm. Explain that Meitei is a non-tribal community. It accounts for 53% of the population of Manipur. Mainly the people of this community live in the Manipur Valley. They have been demanding ST status for their community for the last 10 years. They say that people from Myanmar and Bangladesh have entered the state on a large scale and because of that they are facing problems. As per the existing law, the Meitei community is not allowed to settle in the hilly areas of the state.
