As large-scale protests continue to take place every night across the Manipur valley areas, two weeks after two Meitei children were killed in a projectile attack on their home in Bishnupur, authorities in the state have begun taking action against “instigators”. In the past few days, nearly every night, there have been multiple rallies, including massive ones with hundreds of protesters carrying torches in defiance of night curfew, and many have ended in clashes with security forces. On Sunday night, there were rallies in multiple areas, including Kakching, Sagolband, Sekmai, Heingang, and Uripok. The protests in Kakching and Uripok turned violent, and security forces deployed tear gas shells. The rally in Kakching turned violent after police blocked protesters from marching to the DC office, while in Uripok, protesters blocked roads by burning tyres and allegedly used catapults against security forces.
