Normal life in several districts of Manipur has been disrupted due to twin shutdowns following two incidents of suspected militant attacks.
On April 7, two children were killed in a bomb attack in Bishnupur's Tronglaobi, and on April 18, a retired Army man was killed in an ambush allegedly by Kuki militants near Litan village.
Protests have been ongoing since April 11, with three protestors killed during a CRPF firing in Gelmol village in Churachandpur.
Clashes broke out between security forces and protestors at a torch rally in Manipur's Thangmeiband region in Imphal, leaving six people injured, including three CRPF personnel.
Civil bodies have called for a 5-day total shutdown, and another shutdown was called by the United Naga Council from Monday to condemn the death of the retired Army man.
