Violence has been going on in Manipur for a year
Let us tell you that violence has been going on in Manipur for the last one year. In fact, the clashes started after a 'Tribal Solidarity March' was organised in the hill districts on May 3 last year in protest against the demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status for the Meitei community. At least 160 people have lost their lives in the state since then. Hundreds of people have lost their lives in the violence and thousands have been displaced.
