New Delhi: One person was killed and 40 others, including women, injured as clashes erupted between protesters and Indian forces in Manipur, India.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the violence broke out on Saturday as New Delhi enforced restriction on free movement on roads and highways, a move strongly opposed by Christian Kuki groups demanding a separate territory.<\/p>\n

Indian troops fired tear gas and resorted to lathicharge as demonstrators blocked roads in Kangpokpi and Senapati districts, chanting \u201cMeitei go back!\u201d and halting state transport buses.<\/p>\n

The Kuki-Zo Council called for an indefinite shutdown in tribal areas, rejecting the New Delhi\u2019s restrictions.<\/p>\n

Tensions escalated in Kangpokpi when a mob attacked a Manipur State Transport bus. In Senapati\u2019s Keithenmanbi village, security personnel opened fire, killing one protester.<\/p>\n

With heavy deployment, including Assam Rifles escorting buses, officials remain on high alert to prevent further unrest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
