Manipur, like many of the north-eastern states, is home to dozens of armed groups, fighting for either greater autonomy or secession.

For decades, the army has been deployed to the area that has borders with China, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Bhutan but it has not been known to carry out cross-border raids.
