    Digital Desk: The state cabinet of Manipur has acted strongly to provide financial support for the restoration of damaged homes, allowing displaced people to go back to their permanent residences. This is done to assist those affected by the ongoing violence in Manipur.

    The announcement of this significant choice was made in a speech to the media by Sapam Ranjan Singh, Minister of Information and Public Relations (IPR) and Health.

    Approximately 4,806 homes have been burned down or otherwise destroyed as a result of the violence, according to official police statistics. The cabinet has decided to make it easier for the affected individuals to go back to their homes by starting to build about 1,000 permanent homes throughout all impacted regions. The anticipated cost of this project is Rs. 75 crore.

    According to the type of home, financial aid would be given: Rs. 10 lakh for pucca homes, Rs. 7 lakh for semi-pucca homes, and Rs. 5 lakh for kutcha homes. Payments will be made in installments so that beneficiaries can restore their homes gradually.

    The cabinet approved the creation of a Directorate of Medical Education to assist students pursuing medical-related studies in addition to addressing housing issues. Additionally, a compensation plan created to assist victims of sexual assault received approval.

    The Manipur cabinet's extensive actions show its dedication to both restoration and education while meeting the urgent needs of the affected community.
