Chief Minister said that all help will be extended to make sure education doesn’t take a backseat.
“Those displaced from Churachandpur and are in the camps in Imphal and arrangements are being made to send them to school and colleges here in Imphal,” Mr Singh said in a press conference.
People were displaced from their houses and are currently in temporary shelters in camps. Many of these people have also miss placed their documentation, especially Aadhaar cards.

“Government is looking to help people get their Aadhaar cards reissued for those who have misplaced it or lost in the violence.”
