Naga organisations have called for a statewide bandh today in Manipur following the killing of four people in the state.
Naga organisations in the northeastern region have ordered a one‑day bandh across Manipur, citing the recent killing of four individuals as the trigger for the protest. The call for a shutdown was issued early this morning and is expected to affect schools, businesses and transport services throughout the state.
Local authorities have been informed of the bandh and are monitoring the situation to maintain law and order. Police have urged citizens to remain calm and avoid any confrontations that could arise from the protest.
The four deaths, reported earlier this week, have heightened tensions between Naga groups and the Manipur administration, prompting the bandh demand as a means of expressing dissent and seeking accountability.
