The Tribal Girls’ Hostel at Old Lambulane, Imphal, is set to reopen from June 2026 for the upcoming 2026-27 academic session, following an assurance by the Director of the Tribal Affairs and Hills Department, Government of Manipur.
According to a statement issued by the Tribal Youths Council Manipur (TYCM), Director of the department Rangnamei Rang Peter, IAS, assured the reopening during a meeting with the council held on March 26.
