    Manipur violence: 124 displaced civilians return to Moreh
    Along with assuring their security and safe escort, security officers also provided them with essential humanitarian assistance, such as food, shelter, and medical attention.

    Digital Desk: According to reports, the Assam Rifles, state government organisations, and local organisations were able to speed up the return of 124 displaced residents to Moreh in Manipur.

    Given that the impacted people now have the chance to start over and promote peace across the communities, this action can be seen as a key step towards restoring normalcy to the area.

    Along with assuring their security and safe escort, security officers also provided them with essential humanitarian assistance, such as food, shelter, and medical attention.

    Ten tribal MLAs in Manipur have meanwhile requested that a separate administration be established for their tribe. The MLAs issued a statement on Friday that read, "As the state of Manipur has utterly failed to protect us, we seek from the Union of India a separate administration under the Constitution of India and live peacefully as neighbours with the state of Manipur."

    According to official statistics, the violence in Manipur resulted in close to 60 fatalities, more than 230 injuries, and close to 1700 houses burnt down.

    In order to monitor sensitive regions around Manipur as authorities strive to restore normalcy in the violent state, the Indian Army has deployed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and helicopters. The deployment of UAVs and helicopters for aerial surveillance was announced by the Indian Army's Spear Corps on Friday.
