IMPHAL: Amid fresh violence in Manipur's Ukhrul, the state government on Tuesday suspended internet services in the hill district for five days, police officials said.
A police official said that fresh incidents of firing and arson were reported from Litan Sareikhong village in Ukhrul district, a day after two Tangkhul Naga organisations restricted the movement of Kuki people in Ukhrul and neighbouring Kamjong districts.
According to the official, some armed men set ablaze more than eight houses, mostly abandoned, and fired several rounds at Litan Sareikhong village.
With this, over 30 houses along with other properties have been burnt in the village over the past 48 hours following the alleged assault of a Tangkhul Naga community member by Kuki community members.
