Tear Gas Used to Disperse Protesters in Manipur Demanding Justice for Tronglaobi Incident

Security personnel used tear gas to disperse protesters in Manipur’s Imphal West district after tensions escalated in the Khurai Lamlong region during demonstrations seeking justice for the Tronglaobi incident.

Public anger has intensified since April 7, when two children were killed and their mother was injured after suspected militants allegedly hurled a bomb at a house in the Tronglaobi Awang Leikai area of Moirang.

The protest was organised to demand swift action against those responsible for the attack. Authorities intervened after the situation turned tense, and security forces used tear gas to bring the crowd under control. Further details on injuries or detentions during the protest are awaited.
