Imphal, July 9: The Tangkhul Naga Long (TNL), an influential Naga organisation strongly opposed the Manipur government’s decision to set up a semi-permanent relief camp in Ukhrul district for the displaced people.

“Setting up and operation of semi-permanent relief camp in Ukhrul district must not accommodate those displaced persons from other districts. To ensure permanent peace in Manipur, the government must work out a policy to accommodate the displaced persons in their original place and not scatter them in other places,” the TNL stated in a press statement.

The Naga people inhabited Ukhrul district shares borders with Nagaland and Myanmar.

It further stated, “If any displaced person from another district is found being accommodated in Ukhrul district, the TNL will oppose such moves of the state government and any eventualities that arise, it will be the sole responsibility of the state government,”.

Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh earlier announced that 4,000 prefabricated temporary homes would be constructed for the people displaced in the ethnic violence, which broke out on May 3.

The state government has already started the process of collecting construction materials and setting up of temporary homes.
