ethnic crisis.
Police said that incidents of violence including
arson were reported from three districts -- Imphal East, Churachandpur,
and Bishnupur.
Army and various other central forces immediately rushed to the violence hit areas and brought the situation under control.

while talking to the media in the Secretariat, said that the Army,
Central Armed Police Force, Manipur Rifles, police, and Village Defence
Force had been adequately deployed at 38 most volatile and mixed
populated areas of different districts.
The Chief Minister said
that a team of MLAs from Manipur on Thursday met the Union Home Minister
in Guwahati and apprised him of the prevailing situation.
"Our
government's priority is making peace feel safe and secure. People must
have faith in the government to restore peace and normalcy."
Rai, who visited some districts, told the media that the recent unrest would affect the development and welfare activities.
He
said all grievances, demands, problems and issues would be resolved
through talks and peaceful process and people of different communities
must have faith in the government and shun all forms of violence.

Minister Narendra Modi, the Union Home Minister, the Chief Minister,
newly appointed Security Advisor to Manipur Government Kuldiep Singh and
overall operational commander Ashutosh Sinha.

protesters Sandhyarani said following the May 3 incident, people across
the state are living in panic and uncertain situations.
