There was a fierce firing incident during the clash between two communities here. After the firing, tension has spread in the area and security forces have been deployed on the spot to maintain peace there.

In the beginning of May, violence started from this area between two communities in Manipur. Churachandpur is the main center of violence in Manipur. At the same time, fierce demonstrations are being held against the violence in the capital Delhi.

On the other hand, a shutdown will be organized in the tribal areas of Gujarat on Sunday in protest against the long-standing caste violence and atrocities against women in Manipur. The Congress has decided to support the bandh to protest against the failure of the BJP government in the state to control the situation in the northeastern state. The bandh has been called by several tribal organisations, including the Adivasi Ekta Manch, in the tribal-dominated districts of Gujarat.

The four accused arrested in the case were on Friday sent to 11-day police custody amid protests in the northeastern state of Manipur after two women were paraded naked.

This issue echoed on Friday for the second consecutive day in the Monsoon session of Parliament and there was a huge uproar from the opposition members demanding PM Narendra Modi’s statement and discussion on this issue, due to which not a single legislative work could be done in both the Houses of Parliament, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.

Amid the uproar by opposition MPs, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said that the government is ready to discuss the matter.
