India will deploy an extra 5,000 paramilitary troops to quell unrest in Manipur, authorities said on Tuesday, a week after in fresh clashes in the troubled state. Manipur in India’s northeast has been rocked by regular clashes for more than 18 months between the predominantly Hindu Meitei majority and the mainly Christian Kuki community, dividing the state into ethnic enclaves. Ten Kuki militants were when they attempted to assault police last week, prompting the apparent reprisal killing of six Meitei civilians, whose bodies were found in Jiribam district days later.

Manipur has been subject to periodic internet shutdowns and curfews since the began last year. Both were reimposed in the state capital Imphal on Saturday after the discovery of the six bodies prompted violent protests by the Meitei community. The ethnic strife has also displaced tens of thousands of people in the state, which borders war-torn Myanmar.
