In the last 10 days, 10 people have lost their lives in the violence in Manipur, signalling significant reprisal of the strife in the northeastern state. Among those killed is a former serviceman. https://thewire.in/rights/manipur-violence-killings-internet-education
The killings this time reflect the widespread nature of the unrest across the state.
The violence erupted on September 1, when bombs were thrown for the first time in the Koutuk Kadangband village. An alleged drone attack killed a woman and injured nine others, including an 11-year-old, igniting protests and further clashes, as people took to the streets.
The Manipur government suspended internet and mobile data services across the state from 3 pm on September 10, until 3 pm on September 15, 2024, citing concerns about the “spread of disinformation and rumours through social media”.
