The Government has imposed a curfew in Jiribam, a border town in Manipur, following a decline in law and security conditions since last night.

The situation arose after a person, who had gone to his farm, was found dead with wounds inflicted by a sharp object on Thursday. Additionally, some houses belonging to two different communities were also burned down last night by miscreants.

The district administration imposed a curfew from Friday morning in the town and security forces and district-level officers have been instructed to protect lives and properties. Meanwhile, the security forces have evacuated villagers of violence prone areas of the town to safer locations today.
