India, Sept. 13 -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday appealed to various groups in Manipur to shun violence and work towards restoring peace in the state.

"I urge all outfits to embark on the path of peace to secure your children's future," PM Narendra Modi said while addressing a public gathering during his visit to Churachandpur, which was the epicentre of the ethnic violence in Manipur.

The prime minister's call comes against the backdrop of ethnic violence that has gripped the state since 2023, leaving hundreds dead and thousands displaced.
