While the article goes into great detail about what happened, I can't seem to see any info on why it happened? What's going on between the Meitei and the Kuki?

The conflict was triggered when the state High Court gave a verdict in favour of the Meiti community for a long standing demand for special previliges.

The Wikipedia article about the violence has a good overview.
