Days of violence in India's northeastern state of Manipur leaves at least 54 people dead
On April 19, a Manipur High Court ruling directed the state government to submit recommendations for the inclusion of the Meitei community in the Scheduled Tribe category, which enraged the state's tribal population.
Under existing laws, the Meitei community, which accounts for nearly 60% of the state's population, is not permitted to settle in hilly areas. The march quickly turned violent and spread to other districts, prompting the state administration to call in the Indian Army to control the situation.However, the PTI reported that life returned to wary normalcy in Imphal valley on Saturday as shops and markets reopened and cars started moving on the roads.
