Displaced persons in Manipur’s relief camps have likened their living conditions to prisons, challenging the Manipur government’s assertions of adequate welfare provision.
Residents of these camps have reported severe shortages of basic necessities, including food, water, and medical supplies. They claim that despite government statements, the promised aid has not reached them, leading to deteriorating living conditions.
The Manipur government has maintained that it is providing sufficient support to those affected, citing efforts to distribute essential supplies and improve facilities. However, displaced persons have refuted these claims, alleging that the relief measures are inadequate and inconsistent.
This situation follows recent ethnic violence in Manipur, which has forced thousands of people to flee their homes and seek refuge in temporary camps. The affected individuals continue to demand better living conditions and more reliable support from the authorities.
