In another program at Sadbhavna Mandap, Tuibong, Hon’ble MLA Paolienlal Haokip of Saikot AC, along with Additional Deputy Commissioner Lalrobul Fimate and SDO Jangminlen Lupho, oversaw the distribution. To mark the occasion, Paolienlal Haokip, Hon’ble MLA handed over cheques in a symbolic gesture as financial assistance was credited directly to the bank accounts of IDPs. Essential items such as mattresses, blankets, torchlights, infant formula, and chocolates were also distributed to the IDPs.
At the Torbung Prefabricated Relief Centre, Letzamang Haokip, Hon’ble MLA, Henglep AC, Seiminthang Lenthang, ADM Churachandpur, and Mangminthang Gangte, SDO Kangvai attended the event. Benefits were transferred directly to IDPs’ bank accounts to support the purchase of personal items and bedding.
Meanwhile, at St. Joseph’s Relief Camp, Singngat, Hon’ble MLA Chinlunthang of Singhat AC, SDO Samuel T. Lhungdim, and other officials distributed DBT benefits to IDPs. Due to poor internet connectivity, inmates could not interact with the Chief Minister. Lactating and expecting mothers received infant formula, persons with disabilities were provided with torchlights, and senior citizens were gifted vacuum flasks to keep drinking water warm. These items were personally handed over to the beneficiaries by the Constituency MLA, Chinlunthang, adding a symbolic touch of care and dignity to the distribution.
