"These incidents are very unfortunate. The incidents were a result of a 'prevailing misunderstanding between two communities'," said CM in a video message on Thursday.
Violence broke out on May 3 during a rally organised by the All Tribals Students Union (ATSU) Manipur to protest the demand for inclusion of Meitei/Meetei in the Scheduled Tribe category.
In the telephonic conversation with Manipur Chief Minister, the Union Home Minister was apprised of the present situation and the steps being taken by the State government to control it, sources said.
