Over 5,800 people from Manipur have fled to Mizoram and taken shelter in different districts, after recent violence between the Meiteis and tribals in the neighbouring state. The displaced people are from the Chin-Kuki-Mizo community and many are staying in temporary relief camps across Mizoram. The Meiteis account for about 53 per cent of Manipur's population and live mostly in the Imphal Valley, while the tribals - Nagas and Kukis - constitute another 40 per cent of the population and reside in the hill districts. The 10 Kuki MLAs, including seven from the BJP, had on Friday urged the Centre to create a separate administration in the wake of the violence.
