Violent ethnic clashes broke out last Wednesday after tribals organised a demonstration in the ten hill districts of Manipur to protest against the Meitei community's demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status, leading to the death of at least 54 people.
So far, 23,000 people have been rescued from the violence-hit areas and moved to military garrisons, officials said.
According to officials, life was crawling back to somewhat normal in violence-hit areas as people came out of their homes in the state capital Imphal to buy essential items with the curfew being relaxed for a few hours on Monday morning.
