Violence between members of the Kuki ethnic group, who mostly live in the hills, and Meiteis, the dominant community in the lowlands, erupted on May 3, sparked by resentment over economic benefits and quotas in government jobs and education reserved for hill people.

Ethnic clashes continue in India’s Manipur despite army presence

New violence has erupted in Manipur state despite the deployment of thousands of security forces to quell the fighting in India’s northeast region. Authorities had imposed an internet blackout and issued shoot-at-sight orders in ‘extreme cases’ in an effort to contain the violence.
