Manipur: Sporadic Violence In Sugnu After Suspected Militants Torch 200 Houses | English News

For over a week, Manipur's Sugnu town has now remained the key area of confrontation between the two communities at loggerheads in the northeastern state, where sporadic violence has continued for over a month. Over 200 houses, including that of Kangujam Ranjit, Congress MLA from Sugnu Assembly, were set on fire by suspected militants at Serou in Kakching district on Friday night. Locals have reported constant gunfire, bomb attacks, and even snipers since Friday.
Those who have received bullet injuries in the ongoing exchange of fire were rushed to the District Hospital in Churachandpur, sources have told NDTV. The hill district of Churachandpur also remains a crucial area where violence has been reported since the start of the ethnic conflict.
