Special NIA Court Established in Manipur for Ethnic Violence Cases
Imagine a special court in Manipur, like a special courtroom, is now handling cases related to the violence there.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA), a special police force, is looking into these cases.
The court is located in Churachandpur.
The NIA is investigating serious incidents, like the killing of women and children, to figure out what happened.
This new court will make it easier to try the people involved in the violence.
