Guwahati: Unknown miscreants vandalised and set on pyre preparation for the likely visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Churachandpur district of Manipur.
Modi is likely to visit Manipur on September 13. He will first arrive in Churachandpur to meet internally displaced persons (IDPs) before flying to Imphal.
A senior police officer who does not want to be named said, “ Clash between police and miscreants who were destroying and removing decorations prepared for forthcoming visit of PM's visit in Churachandpur district.The incident happened at Peasonmun Village which is about 5 kilometres from Churachandpur Police station.”
The Manipur government banned air guns in Churachandpur district in view of Modi's likely visit on September 13, according to an order.
The order issued by District Magistrate Dharun Kumar S said the "use, carrying and brandishing" of air guns in Churachandpur district have been banned with immediate effect and until further orders under Section 163 of the BNSS.
"VVIP is scheduled to visit Churachandpur district, and elaborate security arrangements are being made to ensure smooth conduct of the programme.
It has been observed that the carrying, use or brandishing of air guns may cause alarm, confusion or pose a potential security threat during the VVIP movement," the order said on Wednesday.
Over 260 people were killed, 1,500 injured, and over 70,000 displaced after the ethnic violence broke out between the Meitei and the Kuki-Zo communities on May 3, 2023, after a ‘Tribal Solidarity March’, organised in the hill districts to protest the Meitei community’s demand for Scheduled Tribe status. Manipur has been under President’s Rule since February 13.
Since May 3, 2023, when the violence erupted in Manipur, most of the roads and highways have been blockaded, and Meiteis do not venture into Kuki residing areas of hills and vice versa. Private checkpoints are put on highways by different groups.
