Bishnupur, July 13 2023:
Works Minister Govindas Konthoujam has urged leaders of the two feuding communities to play a key role in formulating a solution to the ongoing conflict instead of merely waiting for the Government to resolve the matter.
The Bishnupur MLA made the appeal while extending the State-sponsored one-time financial aid to the inmates of the relief camp at DC Complex operated by Apunba Tengbang Lup Bishnupur under the supervision of Bishnupur District Administration.
Speaking further, the Works Ministers rued over the current unstable situation in Manipur brought on by the spate of violence.

As part of the one-time aid launched by the Chief Minister, 50% of the aid amount (Rs 500) has been distributed to the relief camp inmates, he said.
Further, the Indian Government is ready to sanction a sum of Rs 1,30,000 per household to rebuild the houses that have been dismantled or lost to arson under the Indira Awas Yojana Scheme, he informed.
Notably, with regards to helping the displaced families regain employment, the Works Minister notified that job cards will be issued to the inmates under MGNREGS through which they can earn Rs 260 per day.
The Government is also making efforts to ensure safe and secure resettlement of the internally displaced persons once the situation calms down, he maintained.
Therefore, there is a need for leaders of both communities to come forward and take responsibility to restore peace and not simply saddle the Government with the responsibility, he said.
