Imphal, May 4: The State of Manipur has erupted into violent ethnic riots overnight, with the violence spreading at an unprecedented pace.
Violent clashes have broken out in various parts of Manipur, including several reports of homes belonging to tribal residents being attacked and places of worship destroyed.
The visuals coming from the state show the devastation caused by the violence, turning many parts of the state into a war zone, with groups using rifles and automatic weapons freely on the streets.
Here are some of the terrifying visuals that show the situation in the state; and these could possibly be the last visuals as the government has completely shut-down both mobile and broadband internet in the State for 5 days.
Situation in #Manipur is terrifying! There is wide spread arson, orders to shut down internet.
I request the Hon’ble PM & Hon’ble Union HM to kindly CUT SHORT their campaigning in #Karnataka & please save lives & property in #Manipur & establish peace & normalcy! #ManipurOnFire pic.twitter.com/LM32NM0Gys— Tehseen Poonawalla Official 🇮🇳 (@tehseenp) May 3, 2023

Just In : Another church set ablazed by #Meitei rioters in Imphal.
The central forces already arrived more than 1hrs ago but no initiative was taken.
This can happened only under Biren led BJP Govt.@RahulGandhi@Jairam_Ramesh@pradyutbordoloi#ManipurOnFire#manipurisburning pic.twitter.com/R4XjGiZhFZ— Patrick Onminlal Haokip (@PatrickOHaokip) May 4, 2023
