Manipur's governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla extended the deadline for surrendering illegal and looted weapons until 4 pm on March 6.

Over 300 weapons have been surrendered so far amidst ongoing ethnic clashes.

A mob in Manipur set fire to the residence of BJP Minorities Morcha president Asker Ali after he endorsed the Waqf Amendment Act. In response to the attack and protests, authorities imposed prohibitory orders in Lilong. Ali later retracted his support for the Act.
