Manipur Governor Anusuiya Uikey today visited violence affected Churachandpur district after she was appointed as the Chairman of the Peace Committee constituted by the Centre.
The Manipur Governor headed straight to the relief camp set up at the Churachandpur College. Governor Uikey took stock of the inmates who have taken shelter at the facility and enquired about their health and well being.
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.
The committee headed by Governor Anusuya Uikey has Chief Minister N Biren Singh, Y Khemchand, Minister, Nemcha Kipgen, Minister Lorho S Pfoze, MP Manipur as well representatives of different political parties, Civil Society groups, retired senior defence and government officials as well as other intellectuals as its members.
