The district Magistrate of Imphal West and Thoubal district on Sunday issued prohibitory orders against unauthorised sale and usage of Walkie-Talkie sets to prevent the spread of rumours and unrest among the public.

The order signed by district magistrate said the SP of the concerned district submitted a report regarding the rampant use of Walkie-Talkies and Personal Mobile Radio (PMR) by miscreants for spreading rumour and creating unrest among the public.

In Manipur, clashes first broke out on May 3 after a 'Tribal Solidarity March' was organised in the hill districts to protest against the Meitei community's demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status. More than 100 people have lost their lives in the ethnic violence between Meitei and Kuki community people.

The State government banned internet services in a bid to stop the spread of rumours in the State.
