Manipur government withdrew its order which barred offering food and shelter to refugees from Myanmar that might flee into the state due to the ongoing turmoil in the neighbouring country, reported NDTV.
On March 26, the state government in its order had asked border officials to “politely turn away” those seeking refuge in India. In the advisory issued to the DCs of Chandel, Tengoupal, Kamjong, Ukhrul and Churachandpur on March 26, Special Secretary (Home) H Gyan Prakash also asked them to stop Aadhaar enrolment exercise.
As a fallout of the events taking place in the neighbouring country, Myanmar, it is reported that the country’s nationals have been trying to enter India through the border states including Manipur, it said.
“District administration should not open any camps to provide food and shelter. The civil society organisations should also not be allowed to open any camps to provide shelter/food,” the circular, which came into public domain on Monday, said.
