[India] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Peaceful sit-in protests occurred on April 6, 2025, in Imphal city, Manipur, opposing the Waqf Amendment Act 2025, with demonstrators claiming the legislation violates Muslim rights. The protests were organized by local community groups at multiple locations including ABA ground and nearby areas.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Given the peaceful nature and localized scope of the demonstrations, immediate supply chain disruption appears minimal.

Watch points

• Monitor for potential escalation if protests expand beyond current peaceful format or spread to other regions of Manipur
• Track government response and any policy developments regarding the Waqf Amendment Act that could trigger broader demonstrations
