The Manipur Home Minister reiterated the state's commitment to resettling internally displaced persons, while acknowledging ongoing safety concerns that need to be addressed.
The Manipur Home Minister announced that the state government remains committed to resettling internally displaced persons (IDPs) in a timely and organized manner. He emphasized that the government’s plans include the construction of new housing and the provision of basic amenities for displaced families.
The minister also highlighted that safety concerns persist in several affected areas, especially where recent floods and limited infrastructure pose risks to the resettlement process. He urged authorities to conduct thorough risk assessments before finalizing relocation sites.
To address these concerns, the government is working on a comprehensive safety framework that incorporates improved road connectivity, disaster‑preparedness measures, and coordination with security forces. The aim is to ensure that resettlement does not expose IDPs to further hazards.
The Home Minister called on local bodies, community leaders and civil‑society organisations to collaborate closely with state agencies to facilitate smooth and secure relocation for all displaced families.
