Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh recently announced that a financial aid of ₹1,000 will be provided to every individual living in relief camps across the state.
This is the fifth time the Manipur government has provided such financial aid during festive seasons for the internally displaced people (IDP) living in relief camps. Manipur has more than 60,000 internally displaced persons, rendered homeless due to ongoing ethnic violence that has persisted since May last year.
