MANIUR: An Indian Army personnel sustained a gunshot injury following armed miscreants resorted to unprovoked firing from Kanto Sabal towards Chingmang village in violence-ravaged Manipur during the intervening night of June 18 &19, Spear Corps of the Indian Army said in an official statement.

It stated that additional columns have been added to the region and that joint operations are now taking place. After 45 days of turmoil in the state, the authorities decided to loosen the curfew. The Indian Army also held a flag march in Imphal Valley on Sunday, and the security forces are still keeping a close eye on the state's law and order.

Since May 3, when members of the Kuki and Meitei communities engaged in violence, the state of Manipur has been plagued by interethnic conflict. Over a thousand individuals were forced to leave their houses as a result of the skirmishes, which resulted in the deaths of over 100 people.

Senior politicians are not even spared by the outraged mob as ministers' homes are vandalised and set on fire.

The nearby northeastern states are assisting displaced people in finding housing. They are asking Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make money available for their protection and well-being. The politics surrounding the unrest in Manipur are also getting more heated as opposition leaders accuse the administration of being to blame for the state's collapse in law and order.

Amit Shah, the union home minister, has visited the state on multiple occasions and has also set up committees to look into the violent occurrence. The government has declared that the 32,000 or so central security forces will back the Manipur police in their efforts to put an end to the violence.
