Speaking at the occasion, Sadananda Sorokhaibam who is also the Additional Member Secretary of MASLSA highlighted that the legal aid and services camp has been opened with the sole objective to provide legal advice and support to the people displaced by the communal conflict.
The displaced people have undergone harrowing experiences and they are still living in a state of anxiety and fear which is very unfortunate.
In view of the above, special legal aid and services camps are being opened in relief camps across the State to address the grievances of these displaced people and extend best possible legal support through proper counselling and guidance, he added.
Sadananda also stressed on the need of generating a regular source of livelihood for the displaced so as to make them self-reliant.
In today's programme, a team of psychological experts interacted with the inmates so as to know their issues and emotional state.
Chief Judicial Magistrate, Tamenglong District and DLSA Tamenglong Secretary, Arshad Saeed Shah, MJS; Chief Advocate of Legal Aid Defence cum Counsel, LADCS Imphal East, Y Ramananda; Deputy Advocate S Hemanta and Assistant Advocate Miss Zima Kom also attended the programme.
