this is the case

Significantly, in the ethnic violence that broke out in Manipur on May 3, so far 120 people have lost their lives and more than 3,000 people have been injured. The Meitei community of Manipur is demanding to give them the status of a Scheduled Tribe. Against this, a tribal solidarity march was taken out in the hill districts of the state on May 3, following which violence broke out in the state.

the violence started like this

Tension started in the Churachandpur district. It is about 63 kilometers to the south of the capital Imphal. Kuki tribals are more in this district. On April 28, The Indigenous Tribal Leaders Forum announced an eight-hour bandh in Churachandpur to protest against the government land survey. In no time, this bandh took a violent form. The same night, miscreants set the forest department office on fire in the Tuibong area. In the violence of 27-28 April, mainly the police and the Kuki tribals were face to face.

Exactly on the fifth day i.e. on May 3, the All Tribal Students' Union of Manipur took out 'Adivasi Ekta March'. It was against the grant of ST status to the Meitei community. From here the situation got worse. The people of the Meitei community stood up against this demonstration of the tribals. There were three sides to the fight.

On one side were the people of the Meitei community and on the other side were the people of the Kuki and Naga community. Within no time, the whole state started burning in the fire of this violence. A rally of Chief Minister Biren Singh was to be held in Churachandpur on May 4. Complete preparations were done, but the miscreants set fire to the tents and the program venue in the night itself. CM's program got postponed.
