A Big Mess in Manipur
Manipur, a pretty state in India’s northeast, turned scary on June 7, 2025, when police arrested a big leader from a Meitei group called Arambai Tenggol. This happened late Saturday in Imphal, and people got so mad that fights started! As of 1:15 PM IST on Monday, June 9, 2025, there’s trouble—angry crowds, no going out, and no internet—making everyone worry about peace.
What Happened?
On June 7, 2025, a team called CBI caught A. Kanan Singh, a man who used to be a police officer and a leader in Arambai Tenggol, at Imphal Airport. They say he did wrong things like fights and kidnapping. Angry people from his group blocked roads with burning tyres and wood, and threw stones at police. Police used tear gas—like spicy smoke—to stop them, but the mess grew. News says fights spread around Imphal on June 8, 2025.
Rules to Stop Fights
To calm things, the government said no one can go out—it’s a curfew—in Imphal and nearby spots. They shut off the internet and phone data in five places like Imphal, Thoubal, and Kakching for five days so no one spreads bad news. Shops, schools, and offices closed for 10 days because the group was upset. Police and special teams walked the streets on June 8, 2025, to keep it quiet, and news photos showed them trying hard.
Why So Much Trouble?
Manipur has been upset since May 2023, when Meitei people in Imphal and Kuki-Zo people in the hills fought, and over 260 died. They argued about jobs and land, and it’s been tough. The state’s boss quit in February 2025, and the big government took over, but it’s still not calm. Arambai Tenggol, a Meitei team, got strong and caused problems. This arrest made everyone mad again!
More Chaos
On June 8, 2025, some people burned a bus for security teams in Imphal East. Others set tyres and chairs on fire in places like Kwakeithel, shouting for the leader to be free. A few got hurt, even two news people, when police shot in the air to stop crowds. Then, bad guys burned a government office in Yairipok Tulihal. We don’t know how many got hurt yet, but it’s scary.
What People Say
A tailor in Imphal said, “We’re afraid—no shops, no internet. When will it be okay?” On X, some are mad at police, some say, “Stop fighting!” Leaders from Manipur met the Governor on June 8, 2025, asking for help. He said he’d fix it. But people are still worried, especially about night time.
Hope for Better Days
Tensions flare in Manipur, and this big fight after the Meitei leader’s arrest is tough. Police and rules are trying to stop the chaos, but no internet and closed shops make life hard. The state’s old problems are big. As of June 9, 2025, today’s a bit quiet, and we hope it stays that way. Manipur wants peace, love, and a happy fix soon!
