More than 300 people have died in the violence in Manipur since 3 May 2023. More than 1500 have been injured.
An old cookie woman died in an encounter between security forces and unknown assailants on Thursday in Churachandpur district of Manipur. Police said that the woman was hit by cross fire.
The incident occurred when the security forces started a search operation. This operation was started when a Meetai farmer working in the fields in Bishnupur district was shot. It was reported that the bullet was fired from the surrounding hills.
In fact, violence erupted in the state after the arrest of Mayetai leader Ashm Kanan Singh on 7 June. Trains were burnt in many areas of Imphal, tires and old furniture were also burnt on the roads. Apart from clash with the police, protesters also tried to burn themselves by putting petrol.
Ashm was arrested by the CBI. He was the head constable in the Manipur Police. He was suspended in March due to involvement in criminal activities. He was a member of the Armbai Teengol (AT) and smuggled weapons across the border while in the police.
Ashm Kanan Singh was smuggling weapons while living in Manipur police.
Prices of essential things increase The common people are facing inflation due to highway blockage and transport routes being affected after violence in Manipur. Especially in Churachandpur and Rajdhani Imphal, there has been a huge shortage of food and drink. The prices of essential goods have increased. Many violence affected areas are not even getting medicines. A local resident said- Now all things are coming through Mizoram, so they have become expensive. The situation has not been the same as before.
Churachandpur is considered a stronghold of the cookie community. It is dependent on National 2 and 37, which connects Assam and Nagaland to Manipur. Now these roads are closed, due to which trucks have to take a long way through Mizoram. This is increasing the transport cost.
Internet and mobile data service have been suspended in 5 districts. These include Infal West, Imphal East, Thobal, Kakching and Bishnupur. Curfew has also been imposed in Imphal East and Bishnupur.

Understand the reason for Manipur violence in 4 points … Manipur has a population of about 38 lakhs. There are three major communities here- Maetai, Naga and Cookie. Maitai is mostly Hindus. Naga-kuki believes Christianity. ST falls in class. Their population is about 50%. The Imphal Valley Metai community spread over 10% of the state’s area is dominated. The population of Naga-Kuki is around 34 percent. These people live in about 90% of the state’s areas.
- How the controversy started: The Maetai community demands that they also be given the status of tribe. The community filed a petition in the Manipur High Court for this. The community argued that Manipur was merged with India in 1949. Before that he had the status of tribe. After this, the High Court recommended the state government to include Maetai in the Scheduled Tribes (ST).
- What is the argument of Maetai: The Maetai tribe believes that years ago their kings called Myanmar to fight the war of cookie. After that they became permanent residents. These people cut forests for employment and started cultivating opium. This has created a triangle of Manipur drug smuggling. All this is happening openly. He formed Arms Group to fight the Naga people.
- Why are Naga-Kuki in opposition: The remaining two tribes are against giving reservation to the Maetai community. They say that 40 out of 60 assembly seats in the state are already in the Maetai -dominated Imphal Valley. In such a situation, there will be a distribution of their rights due to reservation for Maetai in the ST category.
- What are political equations: Out of 60 MLAs from Manipur, 40 MLAs and 20 MLAs are from Naga-Kuki tribe. So far, two of the 12 cm have been from the tribe.
