Security forces in Manipur arrested three militants, including a woman, for allegedly threatening to bomb the Sangai tourism festival, which is ongoing from November 21 to November 30. The arrests were made during a joint operation by the Manipur Police and Assam Rifles, following a threat posted on social media. This development comes amid a backdrop of ongoing ethnic violence in the region, which has resulted in over 260 deaths and widespread displacement since May 2023. The situation underscores the persistent security challenges in Manipur, particularly regarding militant activities and communal tensions affecting civilian life and local events.
