Over 50,000 people have been displaced, and there have been at least 150 fatalities.

Strictest measures are required to restore public confidence: Kerala Governor on the Manipur incident
As a result of widespread indignation over a video showing two Manipur women being paraded while naked, Kerala Governor Arif Mohammed Khan stated on Friday that the perpetrators must face the worst punishment possible in order to restore public faith.
When questioned about the Manipur occurrences following the publication of former Rajya Sabha MP Balbir Punj’s book “Narrative Ka Mayajaal” here, he made the comments.
Khan reportedly made a reference to the May 4 incident, whose video went viral, when he remarked, “Not just in Manipur, anywhere, if the law is broken, especially if some incidents happen with women, it can be nothing but shameful.”
The actual test, he continued, “is what action is taken against the criminals. Incidents do happen, but that’s not the real test.”
