The northeastern state has been in the grip of uncontrolled violence since May 3. Members of the Kuki tribe protested when the Manipur High Court ordered that the indigenous Meitei tribe be granted Scheduled Tribe status. The Supreme Court stayed the order and reprimanded the Chief Justice of the Manipur High Court.
Protests by members of the Kuki community in Manipur soon escalated into horrific violence, as militant sections of both communities launched attacks on each other, attacked police posts and armouries, and looted weapons. To make matters worse, women were brutally attacked and gang-raped, leading to outrage and anger across the country. The Supreme Court has taken suo motu cognizance of sexual harassment cases. The monsoon session of Parliament has been disrupted due to the uproar over the issue. So far more than 115 people have lost their lives and more than 600 people have been injured in Manipur violence. Hundreds of people have been rendered homeless due to the fire in their houses.
