The Manipur state administration has allocated Rs 5.88 crore as festival assistance for people displaced by recent unrest.
Manipur's state government announced the release of Rs 5.88 crore to support families displaced by the ethnic clashes that have plagued the region over the past year. The assistance is earmarked for the upcoming festival season, aiming to help beneficiaries meet essential food and clothing needs.
The funds will be channelled through district administrations, which will distribute cash and food kits directly to eligible households. Authorities said the allocation covers thousands of families who lost homes or livelihoods during the unrest.
State officials emphasized that the aid is part of a broader relief package that includes shelter rehabilitation and livelihood restoration measures. Monitoring committees will oversee distribution to ensure transparency and prevent duplication.
Distribution is slated to begin within the next week, with local NGOs and community leaders assisting in beneficiary identification. The government has urged displaced persons to register at designated help centres to receive their share of the aid.
The move reflects the administration's effort to mitigate the humanitarian impact of the conflict and to restore a sense of normalcy as festivals approach across the state.
