Mob attacks Manipur Chief Minister's house, extra troops called in to maintain order
Deccan ChronicleNEW DELHI: Thousands of protestors on Thursday tried to storm Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh's house, officials said, adding that extra troops were being called in to try to maintain order. More than 150 people have been killed in the remote northeastern state of Manipur since armed clashes broke out in May between the predominantly Hindu Meitei majority and mainly Christian Kuki community. Residents in the state capital Imphal defied a security clampdown and curfew to mount a protest near the family home of Chief Minister N Biren Singh. N Biren Singh is a member of India's ruling Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been criticised for his administration's failure to end the violence in the state.
