Fresh violence in Manipur, abandoned houses torched

Security forces tightened vigil and curfew was extended after a fresh incident of violence in Manipur’s capital Imphal on May 22. 

Chief Minister Nongthombam Biren Singh said an ex-MLA “behind the conspiracy” to trigger another round of unrest was picked up along with two others armed with single-barrel guns after they asked roadside vendors, mostly women, to vacate the New Checkon area of the Imphal West district at around 10 a.m.
