The Manipur government on Thursday announced that classes in schools and colleges in Imphal Valley districts and Jiribam would resume from November 29 after a hiatus of 13 days. Educational institutes in these districts have remained closed since November 16 after the dead bodies of three women and three children in Jiribam were recovered from the Jiri and Barak rivers in Manipur and Assam respectively.

Schools and colleges in Manipur's Imphal Valley and Jiribam district resumed classes on Friday after a hiatus of 13 days, officials said.

The closure of educational institutions began on November 16, when violence erupted after a gunfight between security forces and suspected Kuki-Zo militants in Jiribam.

On November 28, 2024, the Manipur government announced the reopening of schools and colleges, following a two-week closure due to curfews amid rising ethnic violence. Normal classes are set to resume on November 29,
