Manipur IDPs Protest for December Resettlement
People who had to leave their homes in Manipur because of fights between different groups are protesting.
They want the government to help them go back home by December.
The government said they would help, but the people are worried because they have been waiting for a long time.
They are living in camps and are having a hard time.
The government has made special teams to help, but the people are protesting to make sure the government keeps its promise.
They are also upset because the government is having a festival, but they can't go back home yet.
IDPs in Manipur launched a month-long sit-in protest to ensure resettlement by December.
State government formed state and district-level committees to oversee rehabilitation efforts.
IDPs have been living in relief camps since the conflict began on May 3, 2023.
Government had previously announced a three-phase plan to resettle IDPs by December.
Protestors demand resettlement citing concerns over children's education, economic hardship, and mental distress.
