Police said the incident took place at around 8:40am near Sishu Nistha Niketan School. The woman’s body has been sent for post-mortem.
Schools were shut for over two months in view of the ongoing ethnic violence in Manipur.
The northeastern state has been witnessing ethnic clashes between the tribal communities – Meitei and Kuki – which have claimed at least 122 lives so far, injured over 300 and displaced around 50,000.
