The Deputy Commissioner Thoubal Ahanthem Subhash chaired a meeting with representatives of political parties today at the DC conference hall to discuss the scheme for voting facilities for internally displaced persons (IDPs) at the relief camps.
Speaking at the occasion, the DC who is also the District Election Officer (DEO) highlighted the importance of support from the political parties to effectively implement the special 'Scheme for Internally Displaced Persons of Manipur to Vote in Relief Camps' in Manipur as notified by the Election Commission of India (ECI).
The above scheme has been taken up in view of the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections 2024 .
It is worth noting that thousands of people have been displaced and rendered homeless within few days of the outbreak of the ethnic violence in May last year.
They are now taking refuge in various relief centres across the State.
