Digital Desk: The situation in Manipur's Imphal valley has deteriorated further as violent protests over the 'death' of two Meitei students have intensified.
A crowd allegedly vandalised the office of Imphal West deputy commissioner (DC) in the early hours of Thursday (September 28).
Furthermore, the miscreants set fire to at least two vehicles, according to officials quoted in a PTI report.
According to the report, personnel from the central reserve police force (CRPF) got the situation under control.
For the past three days, violent skirmishes between protestors and security officials have raged in Manipur's valley areas.
Protesters clashed with security officers in Manipur's Uripok, Yaiskul, Sagolband, and Tera regions on Wednesday (September 27) night.
To disperse the protestors and maintain control of the situation, security personnel fired numerous rounds of tear gas shells.
Protesting individuals used flaming tyres, stones, and iron pipes to barricade several main routes in Manipur's valley areas, preventing security officers from entering residential areas.
In the previous 24 hours, irate mobs set fire to two offices of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Manipur.
Both of the BJP offices that were set on fire were in Manipur's Thoubal district.
While an enraged mob burned down a BJP mandal office in Manipur's Thoubal district on Wednesday (September 27), another party office in the same district, Wangjing, was also attacked by an enraged mob.
Meanwhile, new protests have erupted in Manipur's valley areas following the 'death' of two Meitei students by alleged Kuki militants.
