Imphal:
Violence erupted in Manipur's capital Imphal this afternoon when protesters angry over the ongoing economic blockade in the state and a series of terrorist attacks on security forces earlier this week, resorted to violence. An indefinite curfew has been imposed in the Imphal East district.
Protesters attacked vehicles coming from the Naga-dominated hill districts towards Imphal. Several vehicles have been set on fire and vandalised. One bus was pushed into a river. There have not been reports of any casualties.
Earlier, taking note of the tensions in the capital following three blasts on Friday and an attack on the oldest Baptist church in Manipur on Friday, the state government decided to shut down internet services in the Imphal West district.
