More than 58,800 people have been displaced by ongoing ethnic violence in Manipur (a northeastern Indian state bordering Myanmar) since May 3, 2023, according to figures released by the state government. The data, disclosed by the Home Department Secretariat in response to a Right to Information request, also confirmed that 217 people have died, based on ex-gratia payments made to next of kin. The violence, which erupted between the valley-dwelling Meitei community and the hill-based Kuki community, has persisted for nearly two years with no lasting resolution in sight.
