IMPHAL: The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has provided Rs 217 crore as financial support in the last fiscal year (2024-25) for relief and rehabilitation measures for those people displaced due to the ethnic violence in Manipur since May 3, 2023, officials said here on Sunday.
More than 50,000 men, women, and children have been staying in around 250 relief camps in many districts after they were displaced from their homes and villages soon after the ethnic violence broke out 23 months ago.
Several thousand prefabricated houses were constructed across various districts of Manipur for the violence-hit families who are currently living in relief camps.
A senior official of the Manipur Finance Department said in the recently ended financial year (2024-25) massive support was received from the Central government in different sectors.
He said that in March (2025), Rs 1,926 crore of Central assistance was received in the form of Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS), Scheme for Special Assistance to States for Capital Investment (SASCI) and other Central schemes.
This is the highest ever receipt of such assistance in a month. (IANS)
