Curfew continues in Manipur

Imphal, Sept 3: Curfew continued in Manipur’s riot-hit Churachandpur district on Thursday, even as the ruling Congress-led government made fresh appeal to cross-section of the people in the state to restore peace and normalcy. Authorities also continued to suspended internet services to check the spread of rumours aimed at causing trouble, even as curfew has been clamped in the district to contain the law and order situation. “There was no relaxation of curfew in the district. Till now, there is no fresh report of violence,” Churachandpur District Magistrate Lunminthang Haokip told IANS.
