Tension emerged on Sunday between the villagers of Sandangsemba Maring village and Andro village, both under Imphal East district over the claim of khasland.
The incident occurred at around 7.30 am at Chonga Loukol which happens to be a place in between the two villages.

On September 17, 2014, Manipur Government imposed CrPc 144 at Uchon Maning Chonga Loukol and Chaphupokpi Khasland after the villagers tried to claim the khasland.
Sandangsemba Maring village chairman and secretary alleged that some villagers from Andro on Sunday destroyed vegetable items and food grains at Chonga Loukol.
The destroyed food items were grown by the villagers that took one year and Andro village chief should be held responsible for it.
He said that Sandangsemba Maring village and Andro village had a very close relationship in the past and they loved each other.
