Kangpokpi: At least 41 Naga houses, including churches, were reportedly burnt during violence in the Makui area of Kangpokpi district, Manipur State of India.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the affected villages include Makui Chamriupui, Makui Thanamba and Makui Thebram. Locals said 17 houses were completely burnt in Makui Chamriupui, eight in Makui Thanamba and 16 in Makui Thebram.
The violence reportedly began yesterday and continued until today.
The Makui villagers expressed anger over the security arrangements in the area, questioning why security forces reportedly stationed within 10 km of the affected villages, were unable to prevent the prolonged violence and destruction.
According to local villagers, they attempted to remain in the villages for nearly 12 hours but were eventually forced to flee after their homes were set ablaze. They have since moved towards Makui village.
