After the firing stopped, these three were searched and the bodies of all three were found. Let us inform you that the majority Meitai community in Manipur is demanding tribal reservation. The reason for this is that the population of the Meitei community is about 53 percent but these people live in only 10 percent of the plains of the state. On the other hand, the Kuki and Naga communities live in the hilly areas of the state, which is about 90 percent of the state. The Meitei community cannot buy land on the hills under the Land Reform Act, while the Kuki and Naga communities have no such restriction. This is the reason, why the violence started and till now more than 100 people have died in this violence.
