A fresh bout of violence broke out in Manipur, prompting a prayer for peace during the Catholic month of the Rosary, according to Agenzia Fides.
During the Catholic month of the Rosary, a prayer was organized to seek peace in the northeastern state of Manipur. The appeal came as reports indicated a new outbreak of violence in the region, heightening concerns among local communities.
The prayer service, held by religious groups, underscored the urgency of ending hostilities and restoring stability. Organisers called on all parties to respect human life and adhere to the rule of law.
Authorities have been alerted to the renewed clashes, and security forces are reportedly monitoring the situation to prevent further escalation. No specific details on casualties or the groups involved have been released at this stage.
The incident adds to a series of security challenges that have plagued Manipur in recent months, prompting both civil society and faith‑based organisations to advocate for dialogue and reconciliation.
