Jiribam, April 03 2026: The Jiri United Committee (JUC), Jiribam has announced its preparedness to submit a memorandum to Manipur Chief MinisterYumnam Khemchand Singh during his upcoming official visit to Jiribam, highlighting several pressing issues concerning the district.

Speaking to media persons, JUC chairman M Maipaksana Singh stated that the decision to submit the memorandum was taken during a joint meeting of the committee.

A key demand to be raised is the restoration of free movement for the Meitei community along the Jiribam-Tamenglong (JT) Road.

He pointed out that while free movement has reportedly been restored for other communities in the district, restrictions continue to affect Meitei commuters along the route.

The memorandum will also urge the State Government to implement the National Register of Citizens (NRC) using 1951 as the base year, with the objective of safeguarding indigenous communities.

It further propose that the Census exercise be carried out only after the NRC process is completed.

Addressing humanitarian concerns, the committee will press for the completion of pending repair and construction works of houses for internally displaced persons (IDPs).

Highlighting the prolonged hardships faced by IDPs residing in relief camps, the JUC has called for their early resettlement.

In the healthcare sector, the memorandum seeks the upgradation of the Jiribam Community Health Centre (CHC) into a full-fledged district hospital, along with the deployment of adequate numbers of doctors, nurses, and other medical staff to improve medical services in the area.

Additionally the JUC will reiterate its earlier demand, submitted to the previous Chief Minister in 2024, for the establishment of permanent police outposts in Jirimukh, Pradhan Bazar, Boroi Khal, and Leisabithol to strengthen security in the region.

The meeting was also attended by JUC convenor, H Priyananda Singh and other members of the committee.
