'''The 2010 Mao Gate incident''' was a public-led [[Demonstration (people)|demonstration]] held in [[Mao Gate]], [[Manipur]], India, on 6 May 2010.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://e-pao.net/epRelatedNews.asp?heading=10&src=190510|title=Govt orders probe into May 6 Mao gate incident|website=e-pao.net|access-date=2020-05-06}}</ref> The protest was started after the [[Government of Manipur]] denied the entry of [[Thuingaleng Muivah]] into the state. The protest quickly escalated to police firing when the Government of Manipur declared [[martial law]] and sent its commando to occupy the town.

==Background==
On 5 May 2010, [[Thuingaleng Muivah]] the present General Secretary of the [[National Socialist Council of Nagaland|NSCN-IM]] arrived at [[Viswema]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/muivah-heads-home-despite-manipur-ban/615607/
|title=Muivah heads home despite Manipur ban|website=Indian Express|access-date=2020-07-13}}</ref> on his way to his home village of [[Somdal]] in [[Ukhrul district]], Manipur which was strongly opposed by the [[Government of Manipur|Manipur government]].
Muivah stayed overnight at Viswema which was nearby on the inter-state border.

The arbitrary decision of the government touched the core of the Naga populace as they considered this as an infringement on their rights in their own land.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://tangkhulonline.com/indelible-scars-remembering-may-6-2010-mao-gate-incident/|title=Indelible Scar - Remembering May 6 2010(Morung Express Nagaland)}}</ref>{{unreliable source|sure=yes|date=May 2020}}

==Protest development==
The triggering point of the protest was the assault on a civilian on May 5 by security forces stationed at the Manipur-Nagaland border to prevent Muivah from entering Manipur. The assault took place when the civilian was returning home from his farm, located on the [[Nagaland]] side of the border while his residence was on the Manipur side.

==Protest escalation and firing by security forces==
On 6 May, thousands gathered at Mao Gate to protest against the Manipur State Government's decision to prevent the entry of Muivah into Manipur but however violence broke out between the civilians and security forces stationed at the Manipur-Nagaland border.

The commandos armed with assault rifles and vehicles fired at the demonstrators and those trying to block the commando's advance into the town.

Two students—Dikho Loshuo ([[Bachelor of Arts|B.A]] second year student of [[St. Joseph's College, Jakhama]]) and Neli Chakho (B.A second year student of St. Joseph Evening College, [[Bangalore]]) both from Kalinamei were killed in indiscriminate firing by security forces of Manipur. Scores were injured.

==Aftermath==
The situation became increasingly tense, which led the terrified populace around Mao Gate to evacuate to temporary camps set up at [[Kisama]] and [[Khuzama]] in Nagaland.
