Solution
The correct option is C Manipur
Meira Paibi movement originated in Manipur in 1977.
It derives its name from the flaming torches which the women carry while marching through city streets, often at night.
They do so both as a patrol, and in protest, seeking redress against human rights violations committed by paramilitary and armed forces units against the innocent.
