Deadly Violence Flares in Manipur Ahead of Modi Confidence Vote

At least six people were killed and armories were looted as conflict erupted again in the northeastern Indian state of Manipur ahead of a no-confidence motion on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government for failing to contain earlier clashes.

There were day-long violence between two ethnic groups and attacks on security personnel on Saturday, according to a social media post by the Manipur police and local reports. The police said it’s raiding areas to recover arms and ammunitions stolen from the armories.
