The attack triggered immediate outrage across the valley, with protests spreading rapidly through Imphal West, Imphal East, Bishnupur, Thoubal, and Kakching districts.<\/p>\n<p>A mob of around 500 protesters stormed a Central Reserve Police Post (CRPF) camp near Gelmol, a few hundred metres from Tronglaobi, vandalising the facility and burning security vehicles. Security personnel opened fire in the ensuing confrontation, killing three protesters and injuring 30 others.<\/p>\n<p>In Imphal West, hundreds of protesters gathered at Tiddim Line under the All Manipur United Clubs Organisation, marching from its office near Kwakeithel before being stopped by Indian forces.
