The Manipur challenge: Fault lines in police, state awash with weapons

In a state awash with arms and roiled by ethnic clashes for more than a month now, the latest round of killings in the area of Khamenlok, near Kuki-dominated Kangpokpi’s borders with the Meitei stronghold of Imphal East, is a stark reminder of the challenges security forces face in their attempts to restore normalcy.

The killings late Tuesday was the second incident of violence in Khamenlok in 36 hours. On Monday afternoon, when a gunfight broke out between Meitei and Kuki groups in the Khamenlok area, security forces were rushed to the area. But they could not reach in time because women and children had blocked the road. By the time the route was cleared, nine persons from the two communities had sustained gunshot injuries.

Days earlier, in Sugnu which is east of Churachandpur, a contingent of Assam Rifles found the road dug up. When AR personnel went to the local police station to complain, there was a verbal altercation. The policemen accused the paramilitary personnel of interfering in their work. The heated exchange, sources said, even had the two sides cocking their guns before they backed down.
