The state, which has been reeling from ethnic strife since May last year, has been volatile following protests and violence after the recovery of bodies of women and children.
Protestors set fire to the residences of several legislators and MLAs in Imphal Valley on Saturday. Afterwards, curfews were imposed, and the internet was shut down due to the perilous situation.
More than 220 people have been killed and thousands rendered homeless in ethnic violence between the Meiteis and the Kuki-Zo groups since May 2023.
