GUWAHATI The Mizoram government has decided to seek donations from the people to support some 12,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) who sought refuge in the State after fleeing ethnic violence in Manipur.
Mizoram’s Home Secretary, H. Lalengmawia told Aizawl-based news portal ZoramChronicle that fundraising has become necessary as the Centre has not provided any financial or humanitarian aid for the IDPs.
He said the Executive Committee on Internally Displaced People of Manipur in Mizoram would start the fundraiser on July 3. The committee would initially seek contributions from the ministers, MLAs, and senior officials.
