Kiphire, February 12 (MExN): The District Administration with the assistance of the NGOs of Pungro Town distributed 100 bags of rice on February 12, to all the displaced families of Yimchunger Tribe comprising of around 1300 persons who are presently taking shelter in Pungro Town. While informing this in a press release, the Additional Deputy Commissioner, Pungro Sub-division, Kiphire said that many of the homes of these people were burnt down by irate mobs at Kiphire Town in the aftermath of the killing of a young couple at Shamator. “Since most of them could not retrieve their personal belongings, the District Administration with limited resources at its disposal is hard pressed in providing assistance,” he added. In this context, the District Administration has appeal to all the concerned citizens to extend all possible help to these displaced families.
