Fresh violence has erupted in Manipur, specifically in Moreh town, between security forces and Kuki militants, resulting in the tragic death of a commando. The clashes follow the arrest of individuals suspected of killing a police officer, escalating tensions in the region. The situation remains tense as armed miscreants have targeted security personnel, leading to further casualties and the implementation of a curfew.

The Manipur government's plea to the Ministry of Home Affairs for helicopters indicates the severity of the situation in Moreh. The town's strategic location near the Myanmar border adds a layer of complexity to the ongoing conflict. Moreh, known for its significance as a trading hub, is now grappling with unrest and violence, affecting the daily lives of its residents and security personnel.

In a disturbing turn of events, a second Manipur Police commando has tragically lost his life in the violence in Moreh. The recurring clashes highlight the challenges faced by security forces in maintaining peace in the region. The arrest of Kuki individuals and subsequent protests reflect the deep-rooted tensions and grievances that continue to fuel the turmoil in Manipur.
