Manipur CM Khemchand condemns Nongshum killings, reviews security situation

  • On Monday, suspected militants ambushed 14 Meitei villagers collecting firewood near Sunurok hills, killing three men and injuring several others at the border of Imphal East and Kangpokpi districts.
  • Protesting the violence, residents brought the victims' bodies to the main gate of Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh's residence in Babupara, demanding action over Manipur's continuing ethnic conflict.
  • Police fired several rounds of tear gas shells to disperse the crowd, after which the bodies were taken to the Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences. Security was subsequently tightened around the residence.
  • Congress Legislative Party leader Keisham Meghachandra demanded Chief Minister Singh resign, alleging the government failed to restore peace and stating, "The people of Manipur deserve a government capable of ensuring the safety of every citizen."
  • Manipur has faced persistent ethnic conflict between Meitei and Kuki communities since May 2023, claiming at least 306 lives with more than 60,000 displaced. Recent clashes in Thoubal and Kamjong districts compound the security crisis.
