Manipur Sees Ongoing Displacement Amid Protests and Phased Returns of IDPs
In Manipur, over 58,000 people remain displaced since ethnic violence began in May 2023, with more than 43,000 in relief camps across nine districts. On Independence Day, many IDPs protested with black flags, expressing concerns about safety, rehabilitation, and livelihoods. Authorities report a gradual decline in displaced persons in Imphal East and Bishnupur due to phased returns supported by housing and financial aid. However, challenges persist, including safety fears and health issues among displaced populations.
