Police commando among 4 killed in Manipur clashes

Imphal: Four persons including a Manipur Police commando and a teenager were killed in Kangvai area of Bishnupur district in clashes between the two warring communities in the intervening night of Thursday and Friday, officials said.

The area where people from both the communities stay in close proximity witnessed gun fights during the night despite a buffer



zone created by security forces to prevent escalation of the situation, they said.

Last night, an attempt was made by mobs from the hillside to come down and burn some villages in the valley. These mobs had gathered from outside the area and did not yield to the request of locals to go back, they said.
