    Digital Desk: The Manipur government has extended the imposition of Section 144 for an additional two months in response to recent violence in the Churachandpur district. 

    Triggered by clashes between two groups and sporadic violence, particularly in Thingkangphai village on December 18, local authorities swiftly enforced Section 144. 

    This measure prohibits gatherings of four or more people, aiming to prevent further disturbances and curb the spread of misinformation. 

    The decision reflects the government's dedication to restoring peace and safeguarding citizens in the affected areas. 

    Amidst ongoing socio-political challenges, the prolonged Section 144 emphasizes the delicate balance required to address community concerns while upholding law and order. 

    As the district grapples with the aftermath of the violence, these measures underscore the government's commitment to maintaining public order and averting future untoward incidents.
