Violence erupted on May 3 after a Tribal Solidarity March was organized in the hill districts to protest against the Meitei community's demand for the Scheduled Tribe status.
Sporadic incidents of violence have been reported from parts of Manipur since then. In one such recent incident, Union Minister Rajkumar Ranjan Singh's house was set on fire in Imphal.
Meitis are a majority community of Manipur, followed by tribal communities like the Nagas and Kukis.
