Fresh violence erupted in Manipur, with a woman shot dead by suspected militants in Bishnupur and another set on fire in Jiribam. The incidents have further fueled tensions between the Meitei and Kuki communities, highlighting the ongoing conflict in the state.
In a significant development, Meitei, Kuki, and Naga MLAs from Manipur are set to meet in New Delhi on Tuesday, with the Home Ministry facilitating the dialogue. This meeting marks the first time since the eruption of ethnic violence last year that representatives from the warring communities will come together. The initiative aims to bridge the gap between the communities and explore solutions to the ongoing crisis.
A BJP leader and member of the Thadou community in Manipur, Michael Lamjathang Haokip, has filed a police complaint against 15 individuals allegedly involved in an attack on his residence. The complaint includes screenshots of WhatsApp conversations where individuals discussed killing Haokip, with one even offering village land as a reward. The attack occurred hours after Haokip participated in a panel discussion on a local TV channel, further highlighting the ongoing ethnic tensions in the state.
