Imphal valley erupts in protests after bodies found in Jiribam

Описание: The recovery of three bodies from a river on the Assam-Manipur border on Friday (November 15, 2024) triggered protests across the Meitei-dominated Imphal valley on Saturday (November 16, 2024).

The decomposed bodies are yet to be identified but they are suspected to be of three of the six persons, including children, abducted by armed groups on November 11, the day when security forces killed 10 gunmen who Kuki-Zo organisations claimed to be “village volunteers”.

The protesters, mostly members of the Meira Paibis (women’s groups meaning torchbearers) formed human chains and blocked arterial roads in and around the State’s capital Imphal to stop vehicular movements.
