Manipur govt working to facilitate return of violence-hit people: CM Khemchand Singh
Digital Desk | Imphal, Oct 5 (IANS) Manipur Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh on Monday said that since the formation of the new government on February 4, 2026, the state government has been working tirelessly to facilitate the return of violence-affected internally displaced persons (IDPs) to their respective homes and villages. He said that the government has held several rounds of talks with representatives of various Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to bridge the trust deficit that has emerged due to the crisis. The Chief Minister made the statement on Monday at the distribution of benefits worth Rs 2,19,25,000 to eligible labour card holders, especially for IDPs, under the Special Scheme for financial assistance for education of children staying at relief camps and other schemes of the Manipur Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board (MBOCWWB) as part of the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan at the City Convention Centre, Palace Compound in Imphal. Khemchand Singh further expressed that sheltering in relief camps is not comfortable and that not being able to return to ones own home is deeply disheartening. He stated that the crisis has led to the suffering of innocent people in both the valley and the hills. Noting the positive outcome of the resumption of bus services along Imphal- Guwahati via Dimapur (Nagaland), the Chief Minister stated that it has lessened the burden on players participating in tournaments held outside the state and students studying outside Manipur, as airfares are expensive. He added that nearly 450 to 500 passengers are travelling using public transport services every day. In a significant development, inter-state passenger bus services between Manipur, Assam and Nagaland resumed on August 21 after a gap of more than three years. The Chief Minister maintained that the IDPs had fled their homes with nothing, and that the government has been making efforts to meet their needs through various Government schemes and basic needs. He informed that nearly 2,531 IDPs are being provided assistance through Direct Benefit Transfer and added that those IDPs who are yet to be registered should do so with the concerned authority to receive the assistance. Regarding Mission Pathshala, the state government is making every effort to ensure that the benefits reach the IDP students of the state. He also informed that frequent meetings are being held with representatives of the IDPs to address their grievances. Rajya Sabha MP Adhikarimayum Sharda Devi stated that extending assistance and support to the needy people of the state remains the governments foremost priority. Lauding Prime Minister Narendra Modis vision of empowering the weaker section of society, she said that they have been empowered by reaching out to the grassroots and implementing various beneficial schemes for the needy. She also lauded Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh for his courageous decision to visit Jiribam district by road, prioritising the welfare of the people of Manipur. During the programme, 2,531 beneficiaries were provided assistance of over Rs 1.42 crore under the Special Scheme for Financial Assistance for the Education of Children Staying in Relief Camps (IDPs). In addition, eight beneficiaries received assistance of around Rs 19 lakh under the Immediate Assistance in Case of Accident (Accidental Death) scheme, and 194 beneficiaries received around Rs 58,20,000 under the Natural Death Benefit scheme. Tourism and Art and Culture Minister Khuraijam Loken Singh, several MLAs, Chief Secretary Rajeev Singh Thakur and other officials attended the programme.

The people of Mumbai did not respond. Go and see the numbers; both roads were empty. There were neither UBT leaders nor MNS leaders. The rest were sponsored people against the BJP, which is the ruling party in the state, and then there were people with a leftist ideology. This protest completely failed. There was no response, Darekar said. Darekar went on to express gratitude to the citizens of Mumbai for not backing the demonstration. I thank the people of Mumbai.

Oscar Wildes famous quote on love from The Picture of Dorian Gray offers a sharp view of romance, suggesting that people first deceive themselves before eventually deceiving others. Spoken by Lord Henry Wotton, the line reflects Wildes wider interest in love, appearances and human nature, while also connecting with themes explored in his other works. The quote of the day remains striking for the way it challenges the idealised idea of romance and turns it into a reflection on illusion and self-deception.

Cornell rape accuser is under siege as people online try to identify her, lawyer says
[Getty Images] The lawyer for the woman who alleges she was raped at a Cornell University fraternity house says she is not doing well as she finds herself under siege from online sleuths seeking to identity her. Thomas Giuffra said the woman known in legal documents as Jane Doe was incapable of consent because she was completely, grossly intoxicated when she turned up at the home where she says the assault took place. The woman alleges she was raped by seven men at the campus in Ithaca, New York, in 2024. No charges were initially filed in the case. It has reopened since she filed a civil lawsuit that thrust the claims into the national spotlight, reigniting the possibility of criminal charges. In an interview on Friday with CNN, Giuffra said: She's under siege on social media where people are trying to identify her. He said that postings have incorrectly identified other woman as Doe. Watch: New York governor blasts handling of Cornell rape inquiry In an interview with CBS, the BBC's US partner, Giuffra argued that his client, aged 20 at the time, was unable to provide consent because she was intoxicated when she arrived at the fraternity house. Giuffra said she had been pressured into taking the drug ketamine before she was allegedly raped. His comments came as New York Governor Kathy Hochul appointed the state's top prosecutor, Attorney General Letitia James, to take over the investigation. At a news conference on Friday, Hochul said she had lost faith in the county prosecutor's ability to oversee the case. This young woman had already endured something that is utterly unspeakable, and then at every turn she was failed by people and institutions with an obligation to protect her, Hochul said. She also vowed to close a loophole of state law that makes it difficult to press rape charges if an alleged victim voluntarily consumes alcohol or drugs. Cornell students voice frustration at public hearing over rape case Social media feeds are filled with women trying to shield the Cornell accuser's identity by posting videos of themselves under the title I am Jane Doe. As well as seeking to complicate internet searches for her name, the messages of solidarity included clips of women detailing their own experiences of sexual assault. Efforts to rally round Jane Doe gathered pace after a political commentator vowed to unmask her, arguing it was unfair for her to remain anonymous while the men are publicly named despite not being charged with a crime. Online sleuths have also tried to locate the addresses of the so-called Cornell Seven, leading to at least one case of mistaken identity. An active-duty US Marine Corps sergeant who had the same name as one of the men was incorrectly served the woman's lawsuit, leading to a torrent of abuse and threats, according to the Free Press .
