Violence continued in Manipur, which has been plagued by communal clashes for months, on thursday as a policeman was killed and more than 25 injured in a clash between people and security forces in Bishnupur district. Clashes erupted in Bishnupur early on thursday as thousands of people took to the roads to stop security forces. The women demanded to break the barricades installed by the security forces and go to the Taybang area where the Kuki community had decided to bury them. A clash ensued when the security guards tried to stop him. Day curfew has again been imposed in Manipur in the wake of renewed clashes. The curfew is already in effect at night.
The Manipur high court on thursday ordered the status quo to be maintained regarding the mass cremation of the Kuki community who died in the Manipur violence. The community had decided to mass bury 35 members of the Kuki community. But since the dispute regarding this land is going on, the high court has ordered to maintain the status quo for the time being. The Kuki community organization has agreed to postpone the funeral for 7 days.
