Indian authorities in the state of Manipur have imposed an indefinite curfew and cut off the Internet in some parts of the northeastern state of Manipur following student protests against a new wave of ethnic violence that has been raging in the state for more than a year.

At least nine people have been killed and several injured over the past 10 days as armed groups have launched attacks using drones and improvised explosive devices. Regarding the emergency measures, the statement emphasized that the decision “will take effect immediately until further orders are issued.

For reference

Manipur, a state with a population of 3.7 million people, located in the mountains on India's border with Myanmar, has been embroiled in ethnic clashes since May last year. More than 200 people have already been killed.
