Tensions prevailed in Manipur amid ethnic violence between tribals and the majority Meitei community. The state government issued shoot-at-sight orders in "extreme cases" on Thursday to contain the spiraling violence that has reportedly displaced around 9,000 people from their villages. As many as 55 columns of the Army and Assam Rifles have been deployed across the state to subdue the riots.
