Amid the escalating tension, protesters vandalized properties and set fire to the residences of three legislators, with security forces responding by firing tear gas to disperse the crowds. The violent demonstrations highlight the dissatisfaction with the government's response to the incident.
Officials reported that the bodies of three individuals, suspected to be among the six missing from Jiribam, were discovered at the Manipur-Assam border. The Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity is demanding military action against militants and the repeal of AFSPA.
