Tension has escalated among around 200 displaced families residing at Langol Game Village Government Quarters in Imphal, Manipur, following an eviction order by the district administration. These families, who fled their homes during the ethnic violence of May 2023, have been living in temporary shelter for nearly two years amid ongoing insecurity and lack of alternative housing. They allege government neglect regarding permanent rehabilitation, security guarantees, and safe return plans. Despite appeals and petitions to the Deputy Commissioner and the Director General of Police, no official response or assurance has been received. The IDPs urge the government to withdraw or suspend eviction orders and adopt a compassionate approach until peace is restored. Over 60,000 people remain displaced across Manipur, many housed in relief camps and temporary shelters, with ongoing demands for security, compensation, and safe passage back to their homes.
