Imphal, February 15 2024:
Justice UB Saha, Chairperson, Manipur Human Rights Commission (MHRC) along with IGP Mamata Wahengbam and officials of Law Department inspected old age homes located at Imphal East today.
The MHRC team interacted with the inmates lodged at Senior Citizens' Home at Kongba and Bashikhong Kitna Panung and enquired about the welfare schemes meant for senior citizens.
They were informed that old age pensions are provided to some of the eligible inmates.
During their visit, the MHRC team also found that some of the elderly inmates had fled their homes due to the violence which erupted in the State on May 3 last year.
Among them was an elderly resident of Moreh.
In this regard, the MHRC Chairperson advised the functionary of Senior Citizens' Home to help the aged persons in approaching the relevant authorities and enable them to seek their due benefits.
