In Imphal West district of Manipur, hundreds of individuals have taken to the streets for a second day, demanding action on the disappearance of Laishram Kamalbabu Singh, who went missing on November 25.

The Joint Action Committee (JAC), which initiated the protest on Wednesday in the Kanto Sabal area, has given authorities a three-day ultimatum to produce the missing man, according to a police statement.

Tensions escalated further in Kakching, where clashes between police and demonstrators led to injuries, amid ongoing unrest linked to Kamalbabu's disappearance and unrelated local issues.
