The Supreme Court appointed High Powered Committee’s Head, Justice (Retd) Gita Mittal, encouraged Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) at Kangpokpi not to lose hope but look forward to a better future as the prevailing violence too will definitely end.
The three-member High Powered Committee appointed by India’s top Court visited strife-torn Kangpokpi district today.

The District Administration led by DC Kangpokpi, Mahesh Choudhury, welcomed the Committee members. They had a meeting with the concerned department officials at the Deputy Commissioner’s office at Kangpokpi. Among other things, the meeting mainly discussed health and medical-related issues.
Later, the team visited relief camps at Keithelmanbi Government High School and DIET Centre, Leikop where they interacted with the IDPs and provided some basic amenities and sports materials.
Justice (retd) Gita Mittal said that every Indian across all corners of the country are with the people of Manipur during these trying times. She said that the primary thing which had to be ensured by the Government when “you were forced to leave your home and villages was to secure lives, to ensure essential requirements, such as, shelter, food and nutrition, health and medicare, and a place where you can live with respect and dignity”.
It was also equally important to restore schooling and college education for the children, she added. She also said that relief has been ensured and education for children has been looked after and now “we are looking at providing job opportunities and means of earning income for all of you. Once all these things are secure, the Government is already side by side looking at a very elaborate programme of rehabilitation.”
The Supreme Court’s High Power Committee head also announced that to facilitate medical treatment a chopper service from Kangpokpi to Dimapur has been started so that patients in need of urgent treatment can be shifted and moved.
She said that prefabricated homes are also being set up to give families privacy to live with individuals.
She further said that after your stay in the relief camp and go back to your villages, the state government will build your permanent homes while adding that this is purely the initiative of the central government and it will completely support, financially to build your permanent homes.
The visiting team along with the state chief secretary, DC Kangpokpi, SP Kangpokpi also inspected the prefabricated houses constructed at Keithelmambi Military Colony in Champhai Sub Division of Kangpokpi District before visiting a relief camp at DIET Centre Leikop.
