Amid escalating violence and recent protests across Manipur, prohibitory orders were implemented in three districts of the state on Tuesday, September 10.

The district administrations of Imphal East and Imphal West announced that a curfew, effective from 11 am, has been imposed due to the deteriorating law and order situation, The Indian Express reported.
