[India] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Peaceful sit-in protest occurred in Imphal city, Manipur on April 9, 2025, organized by Apunba Meira Paibi activists condemning violence at a children's facility amid ongoing ethnic tensions between Meitei and tribal communities in the northeastern Indian state.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether the broader ethnic violence in Manipur intensifies to disrupt regional trade flows or transportation networks.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation of ethnic tensions that could affect transportation routes through Manipur, a key transit state for India's northeastern region
• Track whether protests spread to other areas or become more disruptive to local economic activity
