Digital Desk: The three Manipur MPs, RK Ranjan Singh, Lorho S. Pfoze, and Maharaja Leishemba Sanajaoba, received a memorandum from the Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee pleading with the government to address the ongoing crucial matter of Manipur during the winter session of parliament.
A sudden violence erupted on May 3, 2023, that started in Kangvai in the Churachandpur district after an unexpected outburst of violence following a solidarity march organized by the All Tribal Students Union Manipur (ATSUM).
Over 60,000 people have been forced to flee from their homes and are staying in rescue camps, while over 200 people have lost their lives or gone missing.
Several firearms and multiple rounds of ammunition were reported to have been taken or stolen from police stations and battalions.
