Chief Minister addresses press conference at the Secretariat, Imphal · PTI
The State Cabinet on Thursday approved a comprehensive relief package valued at ₹500 crore for districts across the Imphal valley severely affected by floods over the past two weeks.
The decision, taken at an emergency cabinet meeting chaired by the Chief Minister, marks one of the largest single-day relief allocations in the state's recent history.
The package addresses three primary areas of need: immediate humanitarian aid for displaced families, longer-term reconstruction of damaged civic infrastructure, and financial support for the agricultural sector.
Officials estimate that over 12,000 families remain in temporary shelters across Bishnupur, Thoubal, and Imphal East districts.
