Independent Civil Society Group Delhi Meitei Forum Distributes School Bags, Medicines In Manipur Relief Camps

The members of the Delhi Meitei Forum (DMF), an independent civil society group of Manipur's Meitei community living in the national capital, donated medicines, school bags and notebooks to people in relief camps

When the clock struck 4 am in Manipur's capital Imphal, a team of five people took one last look at the boxes they had loaded the night before in their SUV, and drove out towards a medicine collection point.

The boxes contained hundreds of packets of oral rehydration solution (ORS), cartons of multivitamin syrup, and common over-the-counter medicines that people in relief camps would need.

The members of the Delhi Meitei Forum (DMF), an independent civil society group of Manipur's Meitei community living in the national capital, donated the medicines to be sent to Heirok in Thoubal district, and Jiribam district, bordering Assam, where violence broke out in the last two weeks.
