Sharing the video clip on X (formally Twitter), Youth Congress president Srinivas BV wrote in Hindi, “Here is Chungreng Koren from Manipur. If only the Prime Minister were a part of their family, perhaps today every citizen of Manipur wouldn’t be compelled to cry.”

Chungreng Koren Wins Interim Bantamweight Championship

In an impressive display of skill, Chungreng Koren showcased his prowess against the seasoned veteran Mohammed Farhad. The Indian Rhino clinched the Interim Bantamweight title with a commanding TKO victory. Demonstrating superiority throughout all four rounds, he solidified his position as a formidable contender to challenge Uloomi Karim for the primary Bantamweight title. Chungreng’s performance solidifies his status as the premier 135-pound fighter in Indian MMA at present.

What’s Happening In Manipur? 

Since May of last year, ethnic conflict in Manipur has resulted in the deaths of over 200 individuals and the displacement of nearly 50,000 people. Authorities report that the situation has escalated into a state of anarchy, with underground militant factions gaining renewed backing.

The region has seen a surge in violence following a “Tribal Solidarity March” in the hill districts, which opposed the Meitei community’s push for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status.

The Meiteis, comprising approximately 53% of Manipur’s population and predominantly residing in the Imphal Valley, stand in contrast to the tribal communities, including Nagas and Kukis, who constitute around 40% and primarily inhabit the hill districts.

Recently, there were reports of a serving junior commissioned officer (JCO) of the Indian Army being allegedly abducted by an armed group from Thoubal district in the conflict-ridden Manipur region. The JCO was later rescued after nearly nine hours.
