The government has issued strict directives to the officials concerned to ensure that there is no shortage of essentials like safe drinking water, medicines, baby foods as well as others items.
Emotional scenes were witnessed as those affected by the spate of violence broke down as they narrated their ordeal to the Governor.
The Manipur Governor also visited 2 other relief camps-one at the St. Mary’s School and the other one at Salt Brook School.
In her message to the inmates at the relief centres, Governor Uikey said,”I am very sad with whatever has happened. I have full sympathy for all of you. Whatever is possible I will try to do. I am the Governor of this state and the protector of all of you. We must all pray to the Almighty so that the situation becomes normal like earlier.”
The Governor’s visit to trouble torn Churachandpur comes after the Centre set up a 51-member Peace Committee to review the present situation and suggest ways to bring back peace and normalcy in Manipur that has been torn by conflicts between communities since May 3.
