What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Violent protests in Manipur’s Kangpokpi district led to the detention of seven Kuki villagers, who were released late Saturday night after the situation was brought under control by police sources. Protesters blocked the NH-2, which runs along the Imphal-Dimapur route, and dug up sections of the highway for nearly two hours. The Kuki Inpi Manipur condemned the detention of the villagers, describing it as an arbitrary arrest. The unrest follows an alleged attack on a Naga-inhabited village by suspected Kuki militants.
