Chief Minister N Biren Singh on Thursday refuted the report that Thengra Leikai in Churachandpur had been completely razed.
 
The government possesses video evidence that contradicts these claims, indicating no such occurrences, Biren said.
He, however, acknowledged instances of vandalism and assured citizens that the matter will be investigated thoroughly.
 
During a visit by Manipur Human Rights Commission chairperson Justice UB Shah, the Meitei village was found completely razed to the ground after which he instructed the DC to protect Meitei villages in the district.
 
Biren was replying to a query made by the media after attending the state-level celebration of Meri Maati Mera Desh at Manipur State Film Development Society auditorium in Imphal East.
 
He announced that strides have been taken towards the resettlement of displaced individuals back to their original land.

This initiative involves the meticulous process of rebuilding houses in verified secure areas through concerned MLAs.

Addressing concerns regarding discrepancies in the addresses listed on health cards of displaced individuals from Moreh, the chief minister was quick to clarify the matter.
