Members of the commission, Lhingjaneng Gangte and Laaljan Begumalso accompanied the visit of the chairperson and held interaction with the wives of the non-local migrant labourers who poured down their grievances.

During the visit, Dr Jamini said that keeping confined the non-locals at a place to avoid attack on their life is not the lasting solution.

Government should take up find a way to solve the problem forever at the earliest.

Speaking to the visitors, 40-year old Shanti wife of Ramanda hailing from Behuraj of Bihar expressed that many Manipuris are also working in Bihar as doctor, nurse, engineer and others professions.

"They are not attack or kill by any of the residents there.

So, there is no reason for killing Biharis working here.

If wanted to live in togetherness spirits, it will be better to stop attacking and killing us," she said.

Shanti and her husband run a hotel at Mayang Imphal Bazar before they took asylum at Dharamasala.

Even though, they are repeatedly attack and killed, they will not go back to their home state.

They will go to the place where they work earlier after some days stay at the relief camp, Laxman, a barber said.

He said that he will earn enough money till his family could repay the money borrowed from others.

"I will work and earn till the family relief from debt," he reiterated.

In the meantime, with the non-locals started leaving the relief camp, only 13 are in the camp today.

Those staying in the camp also blamed the government not providing any relief materials to them even though they are in the camp for the last six day.

The women commission provided Rs 3000 as assistant to the non-locals at the relief camp.

The commission further paid visit to the woman Worlingla (28) wife of SW who has been hospitalizing at JN Hospital after she was abandoned after beaten up by some unknown persons when she out from home to phone to her younger sister.
