The curfew and internet shutdown in Manipur are responses to ongoing anti-government protests by students who accuse authorities of failing to manage ethnic violence.
Authorities imposed an indefinite curfew and blocked internet access for five days to maintain public order amid escalating clashes between the Meitei and Kuki communities.
The state of Manipur has experienced violent clashes which began over the sharing of economic benefits and quotas in government jobs, leading to over 225 deaths and widespread displacement.
Protesters in Manipur have expressed their frustrations by demanding the removal of top police officials, citing failure to control the ongoing violence and discontent among students.
