Manipur Displaced Clash with Security Forces
A group of people who had to leave their homes because of fighting in Manipur wanted to go back.
They were stopped by police, and a fight started.
The police used tear gas to make the crowd go away.
The people were upset because the government said it was safe to go home, but they weren't allowed.
This has happened a few times since a big festival started.
The situation is still tense, but the police are in control.
Hundreds of displaced people clashed with security forces in Manipur's Imphal East district.
The displaced people were attempting to return to their homes in Gwaltabi.
Security forces used tear gas shells to disperse the crowd.
The situation remains tense but under control, according to officials.
Similar clashes have occurred since the Sangai Festival began on November 21.
