Eleven people have been shot dead and 14 injured in a fresh outbreak of ethnic violence that has gripped the northeast Indian state of Manipur
The latest killings come little more than a month after an earlier bout of unrest that saw entire villages burned to the ground, killing dozens and leaving tens of thousands homeless. Since then nearly 3 million people in the state have been largely cut off from the rest of the country, after the government blocked internet services and restricted travel in an effort to contain the violence.
Modi has yet to comment publicly on the violence plaguing the state for weeks now while the home minister Amit Shah’s visit to Imphal late last month has done little to quell the tensions. Opposition politicians have accused Modi and the BJP of showing a lack of urgency in tackling the problem and of failing to stop the bloodshed.
