A team from the Centre led by Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, IAS; Director (Intelligence Bureau), MHA Tapan Kumar Deka, IPS visited two relief camps in Churachandpur and oversaw their well-beings.
The team was accompanied by Manipur Chief Secretary PK Singh; Director General of Police Rajiv Singh; and Deputy Commissioner of Churachandpur Dharun Kumar S and other officials from the State and District.
After landing at 36 AR’s Helipad at Headquarters Veng, the team went to a Relief Centre at Dorcas Veng, New Lamka where the Union Home Secretary inaugurated a Creche Facility for children and a Women’s Tailoring Program, both aimed at supporting and empowering women and children residing in the camp.
Later, the team visited a Relief Camp at Sadhbhavna Mandap, Tuibong. Govind Mohan also inaugurated a Creche-cum-Children’s Library, to further strengthen child-focused support at the camp.
At both the camps, the officials interacted with the IDPs, reviewed the available infrastructure, inspected relief materials and facilities, and assessed the overall condition of the camps. The team listened to the concerns and suggestions of the caretakers of the IDPs and assured them of continued government support.
Remarkably, 15 students who passed the HSLC and Higher Secondary Examinations 2025 from the two camps —5 from Dorcas Veng and 10 from Sadbhavna Mandap, Tuibong—were felicitated and certificates of appreciation were given by Union Home Secretary. Additionally, one Class I topper and one Class III topper from each camp were awarded for their outstanding performance.
Other dignitaries from the Ministry of Home Affairs, Govt of India and from the State Police Department also accompanied the team.
