Manipur: Clash Breaks Out As Meitei Villagers Enter Local Hill For Firewood, Gunfire Reported

Tensions flared once again in Manipur on Friday as fresh violence broke out along the border of Imphal East and Kangpokpi districts, specifically in the Pukhao area.

According to initial reports, the incident began when a group of Meitei villagers allegedly attempted to enter a nearby hill area to collect firewood. The area is considered sensitive and lies along the faultline between valley and hill communities.

Suspected Kuki militants reportedly opened fire, discharging several live rounds towards the civilians. The sudden burst of gunfire triggered panic in the area, with locals fleeing to safer locations.Visuals from the spot, captured shortly after the incident, show signs of fresh firing, though there is no immediate confirmation of casualties or injuries.

Security forces have since rushed to the area and have been deployed in strength to bring the situation under control and prevent further escalation. The region remains tense, with authorities closely monitoring developments.

The situation in Manipur remains fragile with sporadic violence between Meitei and Kuki groups being reported despite heavy deployment of central and state forces over the past months.
