23 wounded as fresh violence jolts Manipur; mass burial put off after stir

Manipur saw a resurgence of lawlessness exactly three months after ethnic strife first erupted on May 3, leaving 23 people wounded on Thursday. The violence centred in Bishnupur, where hundreds of woman protesters initiated a march to “prevent” the mass burial of 35 victims of the festering violence in Churachandpur, which was postponed earlier following the intervention of Union home minister Amit Shah and the Manipur high court ordering a status quo at 6am.
