Prohibitory orders have been enforced in Manipur’s Churachandpur by the local administration in response to escalating tensions between the Hmar and Zomi communities. The unrest was triggered by an attack on a Hmar tribal leader, resulting in protests and violent clashes including stone pelting. Central security forces were called in to restore order amidst the chaos. Local authorities have appealed for peace and stressed the importance of communal harmony while assuring the public of measures to alleviate the situation. The administration is closely monitoring the developments to prevent further escalation of the conflict between the two communities.
