Indian PM Modi: Govt working to end ethnic violence in Manipur

NEW DELHI: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday that his government was working to end ethnic clashes in the South Asian country's remote northeast that have killed more than 150 people since May.

Political opponents have condemned Modi for failing to halt violence in Manipur state, while rights groups say his Hindu-nationalist party has fanned the flames of the conflict.
