New Delhi, June 19, 2023 (PPI-OT): With tension continuing to prevail in the volatile Manipur state, Indian army conducted a flag march in the Imphal valley even as hundreds of Hindu women in several districts of the state took to the streets against the Christian people.
Meitei women, holding fire torches, formed human chains on the streets in Imphal East, Imphal West, Thoubal and Kakching districts. Women raised slogans demanding the implementation of the controversial National Register of Citizens (NRC). The curfew was imposed in Manipur after clashes broke out between the Kuki and Meitei communities on May 3. The violence that followed has claimed over 100 lives and displaced thousands.
