Army and paramilitary forces were rushed to violence-hit Manipur after fresh clashes again this afternoon after days of fragile peace. Sources said that the Meitei and the Kuki communities came to blows in the New Checkon area of the state capital Imphal. The clashes had started over space in a local market. Curfew was declared after reports of arson came from the area. Manipur has been witness to ethnic clashes connected to multiple issues for more than a month. Early this month, clashes had broken out in the hill state after tribals organised a solidarity march on May 3 to protest against the Meiteis' demand for Scheduled Tribe status.
