Security personnel, including CRPF men, have been deployed to maintain law and order, police sources confirmed to The Assam Tribune over phone.
The district administration of Ukhrul issued the prohibitory order following a report from the Superintendent of Police, Ukhrul, warning of potential unrest arising from an ongoing land dispute between Shangching Village and Lungreiphung Tang.

Notably, the decree exempts personnel engaged in maintaining law and order or providing essential services.
Additionally, individuals intending to organize processions for events such as marriages, funerals, or other celebrations within the restricted area must obtain written permission from the district administration or police.
According to the prohibitory order, no procession may commence without prior written authorization.
