67,000 displaced by ethnic conflict in Manipur a record, says report
Tuesday, 14 May 2024 In 2023, nearly six lakh people were internally displaced in India, with over 11% in Manipur due to ethnic conflict. The unrest in Churachandpur escalated due to a Manipur High Court ruling on granting Scheduled Tribe status to the Meitei community, while natural disasters like floods and earthquakes also contributed to displacements.
Rahul Gandhi, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, visited Manipur to meet people displaced by ethnic violence between Meiteis and Kuki-Zos. He toured relief camps in Jiribam, Churachandpur, and Moirang districts, interacting with affected families. This marks Gandhi's first visit since being elected MP. He's scheduled to meet Governor Anusuiya Uikey.
