Manipur residents hold 'noise protest' against ethnic violence

Thousands across Manipur's five valley districts banged steel plates, beat drums, and honked horns Friday evening in a 'noise protest' against continued killings and the prolonged ethnic conflict. Police fired tear gas at Kangla Fort as demonstrators tried to enter. Lights in Imphal were switched off for 10 minutes. The protest was organised by Federation of Haomee.
