Imphal: The youngest legislator in Manipur and the first woman elected MLA from the 46-Saikul Assembly Constituency, Kimneo Haokip Hangshing on Sunday, undertook the initiative to provide winter necessities to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) taking shelter in relief camps within her jurisdiction.
The MLA visited the Litan Sareikhong relief camp, where over five hundred IDPs are currently seeking shelter.

During her visit, the MLA conveyed her appreciation for the resilience and strength exhibited by the camp’s residents in the face of challenging circumstances.
