Ethnic violence in Manipur has claimed at least 98 lives and left 310 people injured, officials said on Friday, a month after the clashes broke out between the Meitei and Kuki communities.
"The total number of arson cases registered has reached 4,014 and at least 36,450 displaced people are taking shelter in 274 relief camps across the state," Singh told news agency ANI. After days of confusion over the number of deaths, officials on May 22 said that 74 people were killed, followed by chief minister N Biren Singh, who on May 28, said 40 Kuki insurgents were killed in a crackdown by security forces in the preceding four days. Bodies of most of the people killed in the violence remain unclaimed at morgues in Imphal and Churachandpur, the officials said, as thousands fled the affected areas and curfew restrictions remained in place.
