The clash happened at Khurai Lamlong when security forces intercepted demonstrators, including several displaced persons, who were marching towards the venue of the festival, an official said.
Such clashes between internally displaced persons (IDPs) and security forces have happened multiple times since the Sangai Festival began on November 21.
A bomb went off at the Sangai festival in Imphal, Manipur, on Wednesday morning, just days before Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to the troubled state. One person was reportedly killed in the blast. Dr Singh is scheduled to visit the state, which just lifted a 100-day blockade, on December 3.
