Manipur Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh visited Kangchup Chingkhong in Imphal West to engage Internally Displaced Persons and review rehabilitation measures. He assured IDPs of secure returns and said security arrangements will be strengthened, including a pucca structure for personnel. Singh distributed one-time grants of ₹10,000 via DBT to 754 IDP college students under the CM College Students Rehabilitation Scheme. He also visited injured Tangkhul Naga and other patients at RIMS and Shija Hospital, committing the state to cover medical expenses and housing repair costs while examining enhanced reconstruction assistance.
Manipur marked three years since ethnic violence erupted on May 3, 2023 with mass protests across multiple districts. Residents say the day is “an anniversary nobody wants to observe,” staging rallies instead of celebrations. Demonstrators demanded the implementation of NRC, resettlement of displaced people, and government accountability to restore peace and safety for affected communities.
