Manipur earthquake victims resent central-state govt apathy
Nagaland Post | IANS | Imphal, Jan 10 ()
A week after an earthquake jolted Manipur, the people here have started resenting the government apathy, notwithstanding the repeated assurances that they would be provided relief materials. Both the state and the central governments appear to be fumbling while most of the victims, rendered homeless in this icy winter, said they are compelled to stay at temporary relief camps without any government help. The lucky few are relying on their relatives and friends.
Nine people were killed and over 110 left injured during the on January 4 earthquake measuring 6.7 on the Richter scale. Many families were rendered homeless as their houses crumbled to ground. The quake-hit viewed the response from the government as short of public expectation.
“Though the earthquake hit the state on January 4 morning, it was only on January 9 evening that Governor V. Shammuganathan visited the damaged women’s market which is less than 50 metres away from his residence,” said S. Apabi, a vendor.
