Security forces in Manipur halted nearly 100 internally displaced people (IDP) from returning to their villages near Sajiwa in the Imphal East district. This move was taken as a precautionary measure amid the ongoing ethnic conflict between the Meitei and Kuki communities, which started displacing thousands of individuals since May 2023. In a recent crackdown, security forces recovered a significant number of weapons and ammunition from the region, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. The coordinated efforts displayed by joint teams aimed at maintaining peace and security in the affected areas.
