A delegation of six Supreme Court judges, led by Justice BR Gavai, will visit relief camps in violence-hit Manipur on March 22 to assess the conditions of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and strengthen legal and humanitarian aid efforts.
The delegation includes Justices Surya Kant, Vikram Nath, MM Sundresh, KV Viswanathan, and N Kotiswar Singh. They will engage with displaced communities and oversee various relief initiatives.
Justice Gavai, who serves as the Executive Chairman of the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA), will virtually inaugurate legal services and medical camps across all districts of Manipur. Additionally, new legal aid clinics will be launched in Imphal East, Imphal West, and Ukhrul districts.
The visit will also include the distribution of essential relief materials to displaced families. Legal services camps will facilitate access to government welfare programs, including healthcare, pensions, employment schemes, and identity document reconstruction.
As part of the initiative, a team of 25 specialized doctors from Chennai will conduct medical camps across all relief camps. Their services will continue for six additional days to ensure sustained medical support, treatment, and access to essential medicines.
NALSA, in collaboration with the Manipur State Legal Services Authority (MASLSA), has already established 273 special legal aid clinics at relief camps, assisting IDPs in accessing government benefits, retrieving lost documents, and receiving legal aid.
“This visit underscores NALSA’s commitment to justice, particularly for marginalized and vulnerable communities. By bridging the gap between legal rights and accessibility, NALSA aims to ensure that every displaced person receives the support, protection, and resources they need to rebuild their lives with dignity,” the organization stated.
