On Thursday, he had gone to relief camps in Churachandpur, one of the towns worst hit by the ethnic violence, which has troubled the northeastern state for the last two months.

The trip witnessed high drama, as the local police halted his convoy of cars at Bishnupur, fearing the carcade may face assaults. Gandhi finally turned around and flew down to Churachandpur by a helicopter. The Congress leader is on a two-day visit to Manipur to “bring a healing touch” to local communities.
