Kolkata/Imphal: People’s Alliance for Peace and Progress Manipur (PAPPM) in association with Delhi Manipuri Society held a press-meet at  Press Club of India, New Delhi on Tuesday and discussed the reasons behind the violent clash in Manipur.

PAPPM asserted that there are four key factors that created the ground for this clash. Since November 2018 the authorities are chasing the drug lords in Manipur.
