Justice (retd) Gita Mittal said that every Indian across all corners of the country are with the people of Manipur during these trying times. She said that the primary thing which had to be ensured by the Government when “you were forced to leave your home and villages was to secure lives, to ensure essential requirements, such as, shelter, food and nutrition, health and medicare, and a place where you can live with respect and dignity”.
It was also equally important to restore schooling and college education for the children, she added. She also said that relief has been ensured and education for children has been looked after and now “we are looking at providing job opportunities and means of earning income for all of you. Once all these things are secure, the Government is already side by side looking at a very elaborate programme of rehabilitation.”

She said that prefabricated homes are also being set up to give families privacy to live with individuals.
She further said that after your stay in the relief camp and go back to your villages, the state government will build your permanent homes while adding that this is purely the initiative of the central government and it will completely support, financially to build your permanent homes.
