This tragedy is not an isolated incident, but emblematic of the broader devastation wrought by the ongoing conflict in Manipur
Nengboi Doungel, a woman from the Kuki tribes and resident of Pangmol village in Manipur's Tamenglong district, gave birth to a baby girl in Assam's Hmarkhawlien relief camp. On the same day, her husband's mutilated body arrived in Manipur's Churachandpur district.
Ms Doungel doesn't know what to do now, after she lost her husband in the Manipur conflict. Her family members are in such a situation of despair that they could not welcome the new birth.
When the situation became tense and the conflict yet again started in some parts of Manipur, Ms Doungel's husband Haojoel Doungel had fled with his family to the relief camp, seeking refuge.
