Fresh violence broke out in Manipur on Sunday, with reports of firing and arson, where ethnic violence has claimed at least 70 lives in the last month. Army sources said security forces were responding appropriately to the situation and had apprehended a few people involved in the violence. They did not provide any details about the casualties or the extent of damage caused by the latest clashes. The violence erupted on May 3, when indigenous groups, mainly Kukis, protested against a demand by the Meitei community to be included in the Scheduled Tribes category, which would give them reservation benefits and access to forest lands. The Meiteis are the majority community in Manipur while the Kukis are one of the tribal groups living in the hill areas. The violence was preceded by tension over the eviction of Kuki villagers from reserve forest land, which had led to a series of smaller agitations. The clashes have led to arson and vandalism of houses, shops and vehicles, displacing thousands of people from both communities.

403 Covid Cases In India In 24 Hours

From discovering polar cyclones on Uranus to turning on the gravitational wave detector LIGO, this week has been full of new discoveries and findings. Read about the most recent news from the field of science here. Since its discoveries, fleeting flurries of radio waves called fast radio bursts (FRBs) reaching Earth from faraway galaxies have been puzzling scientists. Now, scientists are trying to figure out what produces an FRB by studying its local environment to determine the sources that could exist in, or create, such environments. They targeted a repeating FRB, called FRB 20190520B, using telescopes in the U.S. and Australia. They discovered that the FRB’s Faraday rotation measure – an indicator of its magnetic field strength – was highly variable and that it reversed direction twice. This magnetic reversal, they believe, has to do with the FRB source orbiting a binary star system where the companion star is probably a massive star or a black hole.
