Violent clashes broke out in the northeastern state after a 'Tribal Solidarity March' was organised in the 10 hill districts on May 3 to protest against the Meitei community's demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status, leading to the deaths of at least 54 people. "Indian Army and Assam Rifles remain committed to restoring complete normalcy at the earliest and would request all to disregard any malicious attempt to disturb harmony in the region through manipulated interpretation/ misrepresentation of facts," it stated.
The Army stated that as Manipur slowly rises up to the peace and tranquil atmosphere amongst all communities hitherto fore, inimical elements may once again attempt to spread malicious unverified content. A total of 128 Army and Assam Rifles columns, unmanned aerial vehicles, and other aerial surveillance assets in adequate numbers have been pressed into action for surveillance in the state, according to the Army.
