Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with individuals displaced by ethnic violence in Manipur on Saturday, demonstrating the government's commitment to restoring peace. He listened to concerns at the historic Kangla Fort complex in Imphal, promising normalcy will return.
Earlier, Modi visited another site in Churachandpur, boosting morale by emphasizing a hopeful future for Manipur. The ethnic clashes have displaced over 60,000 individuals, severely impacting the Kuki Zo and Meitei communities.
Many displaced remain in inadequate relief camps with poor conditions. The government is launching skill development programs, like candle and incense making, to aid recovery. The violent unrest since May 2023 has claimed over 260 lives and left thousands without homes.
