Manipur: The government has announced that the families of the civilians killed in the ethnic clashes in Manipur since the outbreak of the violent clashes on May 3, 2023, will get a relief of Rs 10 lakh each, as part of a compensation package drawn up by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, in consultation with the N Biren Singh-led Manipur cabinet. The Manipur government and the Centre will reportedly make a 50:50 contribution to the compensation amount. Besides the monetary compensation, the government is contemplating providing a government job to any eligible member of the next of kin of those killed in the violent clashes.
