Deputy Chief Minister Nemcha Kipgen visited the Tamenglong relief camp and announced assistance for 154 Kuki‑Zo villagers displaced by recent unrest.
Manipur's Deputy Chief Minister Nemcha Kipgen arrived at the relief camp in Tamenglong district on Thursday to oversee aid distribution for Kuki‑Zo villagers who were forced to leave their homes amid recent communal tensions. The camp, set up by the state administration, currently shelters 154 families from the Kuki‑Zo community.
During her visit, Kipgen announced that the government would provide essential supplies, including food grains, cooking gas, and temporary shelter kits, to meet the immediate needs of the displaced households. She also assured that the authorities are working to restore normalcy and facilitate the safe return of the villagers to their original villages once security conditions improve.
State officials said the relief effort is part of a broader initiative to address the humanitarian fallout of the unrest that erupted earlier this month in several parts of Manipur. The administration has pledged continued monitoring of the situation and regular updates on the progress of rehabilitation measures.
Kuki‑Zo community leaders welcomed the assistance, emphasizing the urgency of sustained support as families cope with loss of property and livelihood. The relief camp is expected to remain operational until all affected families are either rehabilitated or safely relocated back to their homes.
