Manipur: 11 student protesters moved to Raj Bhawan amid violent clashes

11 student protesters were taken to the Raj Bhawan to meet the Governor after their demonstration turned violent. They were accompanied by state and central forces. The protests, which began after a key deadline passed at 1 pm, led to clashes with police and several injuries.

Tensions soared around 2 pm when protesters, disheartened by the lack of governmental response, attempted to advance towards the Governor’s office. The police intervened promptly, blocking their path and urging the protesters to appoint representatives for negotiations.

The situation deteriorated rapidly as the authorities deployed tear gas to disperse the increasingly agitated crowd. The clash led to several injuries, with some individuals being transported to local hospitals. While the exact number of casualties remains uncertain.
