Decomposing and covered with plastic sheets, unclaimed bodies await justice
At least 147 people have been killed in ethnic clashes in Manipur, India over the past three months, leaving many bodies unclaimed and decomposing. The violence was triggered by an order to include Meiteis, the dominant community in the state, in the Scheduled Tribe list. The clashes have created fault lines and fear so deep that families are too afraid to collect the bodies of their loved ones. The violence has also made it difficult to transfer bodies between districts due to road blockades and armed defence volunteers. | Latest News India
