Partial internet shutdown in troubled Indian state after unrest kills 4

NEW DELHI, Apr 7: A partial internet shutdown was in place in northeastern India's troubled Manipur state on Tuesday after renewed violence caused the deaths of four people, including two children, officials said.

Manipur has seen periodic clashes for nearly three years between the predominantly Hindu Meitei majority and the mainly Christian Kuki community that have killed more than 250 people.

The latest flare-up on Tuesday came after months of relative peace and followed a reported attack by Kuki groups that killed two Meitei children in Bishnupur district, according to a security official and another government official.

An incensed Meitei mob later stormed a paramilitary police camp, leading soldiers to open fire and resulting in the deaths of two more people, two officials told AFP. Another five were wounded.    �"AFP
