Movement of people in and around the two villages was prohibited till further orders, it said.
Tension has been simmering between the two villages for the past few days after Kuki youths of one village allegedly assaulted a Naga woman of the other.
Manipur has been in the grip of ethnic violence between Kuki and Meitei communities, which left more than 250 people killed and thousands homeless since May 2023.
