The measures were taken after villagers of Kamjong in the homonymous district allegedly attacked the residents and torched houses in Chassad village.
The ban was imposed under emergency powers not used in more than half a century that aimed at quelling nearly four months of unrest but instead triggered mass protests and vows of defiance, with a 14-year-old boy reportedly shot and wounded.
Figures compiled so far by the media paint a sobering picture: in seven days since December 10, according to an estimate, there were 96 violent clashes in 45 districts, resulting in deaths of at least two individuals and scores of injuries.
