Manipur Govt Appoints Nodal Officers to Assist IDPs in 10 Districts

Imphal, July 12, 2025: In a significant step aimed at addressing the persistent documentation challenges faced by internally displaced persons (IDPs), the Government of Manipur has appointed nodal officers for 10 districts across the state.

According to a press release issued by the Home Department on Friday, the appointed nodal officers will facilitate the processing of essential documents such as birth certificates, domicile, caste, and income certificates, which many displaced persons have reportedly struggled to obtain due to systemic delays and administrative hurdles.
