Overview

  • A delegation of five Supreme Court judges, led by Justice B.R. Gavai, began a three-day visit to Manipur to monitor relief efforts for communities affected by ethnic violence.
  • The judges inaugurated legal aid clinics, medical camps, and distributed relief materials to internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Churachandpur and other districts.
  • Justice Gavai, addressing IDPs, highlighted the importance of restoring peace and normalcy, urging communities to work together for a brighter future.
  • The National Legal Services Authority (NALSA), chaired by Justice Gavai, allocated an additional ₹2.5 crore for relief efforts, supplementing earlier contributions.
