Indian Home Minister Amit Shah has arrived in Manipur to try and resolve ongoing violence which has claimed over 75 lives. This comes after ethnic clashes broke out in the state earlier this month after a 'Tribal Solidarity March'. Meiteis makes up 53% of the population and live mostly in the Imphal Valley. Nagas and Kukis, which account for 40%, reside in the hill districts. Around 140 columns of the Indian Army and Assam Rifles, involving over 10,000 personnel, had to be deployed to maintain peace in the northeastern state.
