Manipur Government Announces Housing Scheme For Displaced People

Around 4800 to 5000 houses have reportedly been destroyed in valley and hilly areas of Manipur ever since the violence broke out, said officials.

The Manipur government on Wednesday announced a permanent housing scheme for the displaced families who lost their homes during the ethnic violence that broke out in the state on May 3.

Around 4800 to 5000 houses have reportedly been destroyed in valley and hilly areas of Manipur ever since the violence broke out, said officials.

The scheme is exclusively for the families whose houses were either damaged or burnt down during the ethnic strife between the non-tribal Meitei and tribal Kuki-Zomi communities.
