Protests erupted in Manipur’s Kangpokpi district on Saturday, leading to violent clashes with security forces. One protester, identified as Lalgauthang Singsit (30), was shot and killed in Kithelmanbi, succumbing to his injuries en route to the hospital. The protests were triggered by opposition to Home Minister Amit Shah’s directive for unrestricted movement across the state. As security forces attempted to disperse the crowds using tear gas, tensions escalated into full-blown confrontations.
