Imphal: Manipur Chief Secretary Rajeev Singh Thakur inspected government welfare and relief efforts in Churachandpur on September 12. He met with District Level Officers at the Deputy Commissioner’s office to review progress on healthcare, education, and infrastructure. The session included reports on e-governance, rural development, and skill-building projects.
The district currently supports 5,195 displaced persons across 19 relief camps. Another 10,214 people living outside these camps receive financial aid via Direct Benefit Transfer. Thakur visited the Bethlehem Pre-Fab and Lanva TD Block relief camps to speak with displaced families. He listened to their concerns and promised state support. "Assured that of all possible help," the Chief Secretary told the displaced residents.
Deputy Commissioner Krishna Kumar confirmed that health teams hold regular clinics at every camp. Officials are registering displaced residents for Ayushman Bharat and Chief Minister-gi Hakshelgi Tengbang health cards. Those lacking coverage must contact the district administration or the District Hospital for enrollment. Patients needing advanced care should report to their local Sub-Divisional Officer.
Thakur pushed for wider access to job training. He ordered officials to open existing skill programs to the broader Churachandpur youth population, not just those displaced. The Chief Secretary also pushed for digital reform. He directed all departments to adopt the e-Office system to move toward a paperless, transparent administrative model.
The visit concluded with a meeting with local civil society organisations to address regional grievances. Thakur urged all departments to improve coordination to ensure welfare benefits reach both displaced families and local residents.
