Relief materials were distributed to flood-affected families in Bishnupur district on Saturday under the initiative of the Indian Red Cross Society (IRCS) Bishnupur District Branch. The distribution was carried out under the supervision of Bishnupur DC in-charge and Additional District Magistrate (ADM) Toijam Opendro MCS, who also serves as Vice President of the district branch of IRCS. The relief activity was jointly led by IRCS Bishnupur District Branch Chairman Dr. Wahengbam Gulapi.
The relief drive was undertaken with the support and coordination of the IRCS Manipur State Branch, which facilitated the distribution of essential materials to several households impacted by recent floodwaters across different parts of the district.
Key members involved in the initiative included IRCS Bishnupur District Branch Founder Chairman Irengbam Jugeshwar, Patron Member Thingbaijam Swarankumar, Secretary Dr. Huidrom Romen, Committee Member Wahengbam Tollangou, YRC/JRC Assistant Coordinator Soibam Rakesh, and a dedicated team of volunteers comprising Joychandra, Sanatomba, Menan, and Joykumar.
Relief materials were delivered to severely affected areas including Toubul, Khoijuman, Oinam, Nambol, Bishnupur, and Ishok, where heavy rainfall and rising water levels have inundated homes, leaving families displaced and in urgent need of support.
The distribution included essential items such as tarpaulins for temporary shelter, blankets, hygiene kits, and mosquito nets. The aid was targeted at households that had suffered extensive damage or were rendered unsafe due to floodwaters, as well as those lacking basic living necessities.
