Indian northeastern state Manipur is in turmoil. The Assam Rifles went on a raid after receiving information about the shelling in Manipur's Tenganaupal. They searched the area and recovered 13 dead bodies.

Assam Rifles has not yet recovered the identity of the dead. They did not find any weapon from the spot. It is not clear who fired the shots. Just 1 day ago mobile internet service started in the state except few places. This incident came to light after that.

An Indian media, citing sources in the country's security forces, said that there had been no clashes in the area in the recent past. Since last May, the Meitei and Kuki tribes have been in conflict with Imphal and surrounding valleys of Manipur. That conflict did not affect this Tenganaupal. On December 3, the Kuki-Jo tribe of Tengalupal welcomed the peace accord between the Indian government and the Meitei militant group UNLF (Pambei).

The government turned on mobile internet services in the entire Manipur except some parts on Sunday. The central government of India has said, 'Law and order is improving in the state. In this regard, the common people are facing problems due to lack of mobile internet service. Considering all these things, the ban was lifted.' Mobile internet service was suspended in Manipur since May 3.

Since May 3, 180 people have died in the clash between two ethnic groups in Manipur. 53 percent of the population of Manipur is Meitei. They live mainly in the Imphal Valley. The remaining 40 percent are Kukis, who live in the hilly areas. The conflict started over the recognition of Meiteis as a Scheduled Tribe.
