The Government of Manipur has intensified efforts to rehabilitate internally displaced persons (IDPs) across the state, with more than 3,700 families—around 16,500 people—successfully resettled so far, officials said on Thursday.

The rehabilitation process is being closely monitored by a State Level Committee chaired by Chief Secretary Dr. Puneet Kumar Goel, along with district-level committees led by District Magistrates, to ensure secure, timely and comprehensive resettlement. Officials said the government’s strategy extends beyond shifting families from relief camps, focusing equally on livelihood restoration, education and overall community well-being.
By December 2025, over 2,200 families had already been rehabilitated. To maintain momentum, around 7,000 houses have been sanctioned under the Special Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana–Gramin (PMAY-G) for reconstruction of fully damaged homes, with construction at various stages.

The state government has released approximately Rs 1,124 crore towards the rehabilitation process and has set a target to resettle more than 10,000 families, covering over 40,000 IDPs, by March 31, 2026.

“Timely and safe rehabilitation of all displaced persons remains our utmost priority,” Dr. Goel said, reaffirming the government’s commitment to restoring stability and normalcy in affected areas.
