A Manipur Rifles jawan and another man suffered gunshots when unidentified gunmen opened fire at Senjam Chirang in Imphal West district on Thursday morning. A confrontation between a mob and security forces occurred in Imphal West and Imphal East districts as well, with hundreds of people attempting to storm the battalion headquarters of 2nd and 7th Manipur Rifles, demanding arms and ammunition. The forces repelled the attack. The violence prompted authorities to re-impose a total curfew in both districts.
