Nueva Delhi: a delegation of Judges of the Supreme Court led by Judge Br GavaiHe has arrived at Manipur’s Imphal to visit aid fields in the state of the northeast of violence.
Its visit aims to evaluate the situation and improve legal and humanitarian support for those affected by the ongoing conflict.
The delegation includes Judges Surya Kant, Vikram Nath, Mm Sindresh, KV Viswanathan and N Kotishwar.
The delegation has arrived to provide assistance and guarantee access to justice for displaced communities. The Supreme Court has been closely monitoring the crisis, and this visit is considered an important step to address the concerns about the land. The authorities are making arrangements for their visit to the relief camps.
Meanwhile, the tragedy reached an aid camp in the Churachandpur district, where a nine -year -old girl was found dead early. He had lost the night before, which caused a search for his family.
The authorities reported that his body was discovered within the camp complex with multiple injuries, particularly in his throat, along with blood stains. It is suspected that it was raped, although confirmation awaits a post mortem exam.
Manipur has been dealing with ethnic violence since May 3, 2023, when the clashes broke out between the majority of Meitei and the tribal community of Kuki after a demonstration of the Union of Manipur of all tribal students (ATSUM).
The conflict has led to hundreds of deaths and a generalized displacement, which leads to the central government to deploy paramilitary forces to restore order.
In February, Prime Minister N Biren Singh resigned after almost two years of disturbances. The State has been under the president’s government since then.
The current violence is based on the deep ethnic tensions that have cooked over low heat for decades, exacerbating divisions between the Hindu meiteis and the Kuki Christian tribes.
