Following a mandate order from the Centre, the Manipur administration resumed its campaign on Saturday to capture the biometric data of all unauthorized immigrants from Myanmar living in the border state's ethnically divided northeast......

Manipur has been witnessing ethnic clashes since May 3 between the majority Meiteis and tribals that have left over 150 people dead.

The horrific video has outraged the nation and brought national attention to the three-month-long unrest in the state. False reports of a Meitei woman being raped in a Kuki-majority area reportedly sparked the incident captured in the video

A gunfight between two communities in Bishnupur's Moirang area erupted in Manipur and set several homes allegedly set ablaze during the confrontation.

Maliwal, who is visiting the northeastern state since Sunday, claimed that the families of the two women who were shown being paraded naked in a viral video told her that nobody from the government had met them.

As Meiteis leave Mizoram, tension extends to neighbouring northeastern states. The other nine villages in the block have all been completely destroyed, leaving only Maphou village standing.

Maliwal said in a tweet on Sunday that she had written to N Biren Singh, the chief minister of Manipur, requesting an urgent meeting with him during her visit.

The last 24 hours have seen continued tension and unpredictability in the State. Numerous locations witnessed peaceful protests, dharnas, and peace rallies.

On Wednesday, the video of this incident, which involved Kuki women and occurred on May 4, came to light, and as a result, it began to receive criticism around the nation. People are outraged over this act of violence against women and began calling for the government to take quick action.

Manipur police have registered approximately 6,000 cases. The majority of these cases, about 70, are murder-related, with many filed against unknown individuals.
