Two children were reportedly killed in Manipur, India, after an explosion on April 7 in Tronglaobi, triggering widespread outrage and renewed concerns over civilian safety.
According to media reports, fresh protests broke out across the valley region, with large crowds taking to the streets demanding the immediate arrest of those responsible for the incident. Demonstrators expressed anger over the loss of young lives and called for swift action from authorities.
The incident has once again drawn attention to the fragile security situation in the state. Manipur has witnessed ongoing unrest and sporadic violence between different communities since 2023, with periodic flare-ups continuing to impact daily life.
Renowned teenage activist Licypriya Kangujam has issued a blistering statement directed at the Indian government. In a heartfelt plea shared on X, the 14-year-old activist described her birthplace as a land in “turmoil” and accused the central government of inaction, alleging that it is prioritizing political gain. “We want justice for Manipur,” she added.
