Manipur Ethnic Violence Disrupts Farming; Fresh Survey Ordered for Compensation
Ethnic violence in Manipur has disrupted farming across nearly 12,000 hectares, causing a foodgrain shortfall of over 27,000 metric tons and affecting more than 9,100 farmers. The Central government has allocated Rs 40 crore for crop loss compensation but has requested a fresh survey before approving further assistance. The Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) Farmers' Wing has expressed concern over the Assembly's inaction and warned of potential intensified agitation if farmers' issues remain unaddressed.
