The state of Manipur has been grappling with violence since May 3, triggered by protests from the Kuki and Meitei communities against a high court order. The order called for the consideration of including the Meitei community in the Scheduled Tribes (ST) category.

As tensions continue to escalate, the district administration in Imphal East has imposed restrictions on processions, rallies, protests, gatherings, and public meetings using loudspeakers. The district magistrate's notification emphasized the potential for such assemblies to disrupt public peace and the need for immediate preventive measures.
