At least 54 people have been killed in ethnic clashes in the remote Indian state of Manipur, foreign media reports.
The violence began earlier this week after a rally by indigenous communities against moves to grant tribal status to the main ethnic group in the state.
Mobs attacked homes, vehicles, churches, and temples.
Around 10,000 people have reportedly been displaced.
Thousands of troops have been sent in to maintain order.
A curfew is in place in several districts and internet access has been suspended.
Neighboring states have started evacuating their students from Manipur, which is in India’s northeast and close to the border with Myanmar.
