Imphal, Nov 18:
In the wake of escalating violence and a curfew imposed in Imphal West and Imphal East districts, the Manipur Government has ordered the closure of all government schools, colleges, and state universities until November 19, 2024.
The decision, taken in consultation with the Home Department, was announced by the Secretariat Higher and Technical Education Department, citing the safety of students and teachers. The order emphasized the need to prioritize security amid ongoing tensions in the state.
The curfew declared over the weekend, followed the discovery of six dead bodies in the conflict-ridden areas, leading to heightened tensions and widespread concern. Internet services have also been suspended across seven districts to prevent the spread of misinformation and further unrest.
Security has been significantly bolstered in the state capital, particularly around Chief Minister N. Biren Singh’s residence and the Raj Bhavan, with vehicle movement heavily restricted in the affected areas.
