The state government of Manipur imposed a curfew in eight districts and suspended internet for the next five days after violence broke out during a tribal agitation on Wednesday. Reportedly, several religious structures and homes were torched during the agitation. The unrest started during a march organized by a students' body to protest the Meitei community's demand to be recognized as Scheduled Tribe (ST).
