Several persons were injured as fresh clashes broke out between people belonging to Zomi and Hmar tribes in Manipur’s Churachandpur district, an official said on Wednesday.

The clashes took place in Churachandpur town late on Tuesday, just hours after a peace settlement was reached between the apex bodies of the two communities.

The fresh clashes erupted after a group of men tried to take down a flag of a Zomi militant outfit in the town.
