A Manipur legislator has urged the state government to set up additional examination centres and improve aid delivery to districts affected by recent ethnic clashes.
Manipur legislator [name not disclosed] appealed to the state administration on Tuesday, highlighting the urgent need for more examination centres in districts still reeling from ethnic violence. The MLA said that students in conflict‑hit areas are being forced to travel long distances to sit for board exams, jeopardising their academic progress.
The representative also pressed for a review of the current relief mechanisms, citing delays and shortages in essential supplies such as food, medicines and clean water. According to the MLA, many families displaced by the clashes remain dependent on inadequate government assistance.
While the request has been forwarded to the Chief Minister's office, officials have not yet confirmed a timeline for establishing the additional centres or augmenting the aid package. The MLA warned that without swift action, the educational and humanitarian situation could deteriorate further, affecting thousands of students and households across Manipur's troubled regions.
