Imphal, Mar 9: One person was killed and 43 others including 27 security personnel were injured during the clashes in different districts as the Kuki-Zo tribal organisations protested against the resumption of the bus services between Imphal and the hill districts.

After the decision of the state government, bus services were resumed by Manipur State Transport Corporation under security escort to alleviate public inconveniences as an initiative to bring back normalcy in the state from Saturday.

MSTC uses and other vehicles carrying LPG gas and oil tankers plied along Imphal-Bishnupur-Churachandpur and Churachandpur-Bishnupur-Imphal routes without any disturbance from the people.

Amidst the protest, there were incidents of firing from amongst the protestors towards the security forces, in which the security forces retaliated.

According to an official, due to heavy pelting of stones, use of catapults and random firing by armed miscreants from amongst the protestors, 27 security personnel suffered injury with two personnel critically injured.
