Thoubal, Oct 19: One person was killed and several others injured in clashes between two communities in Manipur’s Thoubal district on Sunday night, prompting authorities to impose prohibitory orders in the affected areas.
Police said the violence began after a group allegedly pelted stones towards a ground hosting a concert in Khangabok village, around 25 km south of Imphal. The incident escalated into stone-throwing between members of the two communities in Khangabok and neighbouring Sangaiyumpham.
