Imphal, October 01 2025:
The Naga People's Front (NPF) has lauded the launch of a housing initiative that aims to provide 1,000 safe and durable homes for underprivileged tribal families in Ukhrul district.
The project is being implemented by the Manipur Development Authority (MDA) in collaboration with HRDs India, a Kerala-based NGO focused on tribal welfare and affordable housing.
According to NPF, the scheme will bring much-needed hope and dignity to families who have been struggling with hardship and poverty.
The party acknowledged the efforts of Ram Muivah, MLA of 44-Ukhrul AC, for playing a vital role in facilitating the initiative and bridging the gap between the community and implementing agencies.
The NPF further appealed for the extension of similar housing efforts to other hill districts, including Churachandpur and Kangpokpi, as well as parts of the Imphal Valley, where ethnic conflicts have led to large-scale displacement of families.
The party also urged the Governor of Manipur and the Central administration to expedite the Permanent Housing Scheme for families displaced by conflict, and ensure effective implementation of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) for affordable housing.
Coordinated action by the administration, local representatives, and civil society, it said, is essential to ensure every deserving family receives a shelter.
