Imphal : Around 700 displaced families in the southern parts of the state – Torbung and Sugunu villages have been resettled in their original localities till date in the aftermath of the communal violence that broke out on May 3. This appears that Manipur is limping back to normalcy with hundreds of people who fled from their homesteads due to communal violence having started reentering their original villages.

Around 60, 000 people are displaced owing to the violence and they are taking shelter in different rehabilitation centers across the state. The government has to work for the rehabilitation, resettling of displaced persons, construction of prefabricated houses, and deployment of security forces in vulnerable areas, but if there is unrest and turmoil in Imphal, how is the government supposed to take up all these works, the Chief Minister asked in a statement issued by the CM secretariate on Saturday.

Steps are being taken to ensure that there is a rule of law in all districts of the State with the cooperation of the people, he said. It is the police and the security forces that are guarding the State, the Chief Minister continued. The CM reiterated his appeals for all to join hands and stand unitedly including all indigenous communities including the indigenous Kukis brothers and sisters to rebuild the old peaceful Manipur and resettle the displaced families.
