Manipur Orders Probe into Bus Incident, Meitei Group Calls Strike

In Manipur, an investigation has been launched after armed forces personnel allegedly made a group of journalists hide the words on a bus.

The journalists were on their way to cover a festival.

A Meitei group is protesting the incident and has called for a 48-hour strike, demanding the resignation of top officials and an apology from the Governor.

The incident took place at a checkpoint in Imphal East.

The incident is perceived as undermining the identity of Manipur, with the group also criticizing the lack of action against a Kuki student leader.

The Shirui Lily Festival was meant to promote normalcy.
