Imphal, May 09 2024:
Social United Club (SUC), Keibung Oinam Leikai has urged the government to ensure expeditious assistance to hailstorm affected families.
In a release, SUC president S Ratan Singh expressed deep remorse that the May 5 thunder storm and hailstorm wreaked havoc in the state and added to burden of the people who are already reeling under the impact of the ethnic conflict.
He then urged the government to look into grievances of the affected families and take prompt measures to mitigate their woes to some extent.
As several families in Keibung Oinam Leikai area have been rendered homeless by the hailstorm, the club approached JNIMS director Dr L Deben to extend help to the affected families with the latter responding positively by donating tarpaulins which were distributed as relief aid, said Ratan while commending the director's act of benevolence.
