Chief Minister Conrad Sangma has called for building trust and prioritising the rehabilitation of internally displaced persons as essential steps toward lasting peace in Manipur.
Chief Minister of Meghalaya, Conrad Sangma, has highlighted the need for trust and the rehabilitation of internally displaced persons (IDPs) as key components to achieving peace in the northeastern state of Manipur.
Sangma’s remarks come amid ongoing tensions and sporadic violence in Manipur, where several communities have been displaced over the years. He stressed that without restoring confidence among the affected populations and addressing the displacement crisis, any peace initiative would remain fragile.
The statement was made in a public address where Sangma urged national leaders and local stakeholders to collaborate on comprehensive rehabilitation plans for IDPs, including housing, livelihood support and psychosocial services.
Sangma’s call aligns with broader efforts by the central government to resolve insurgency‑related conflicts in the region, but he underscored that tangible action on trust‑building and displacement relief is indispensable for lasting stability.
The Chief Minister’s comments have been welcomed by several civil‑society groups, who see the focus on IDP rehabilitation as a pragmatic step toward restoring normalcy in Manipur’s affected districts.
