Team Youth Rise for Change
(YR4C), a youth-led voluntary movement advocating for the rights and welfare of
people in Senapati district, has filed an application under the Right to
Information (RTI) Act, 2005 seeking details on flood relief funds sanctioned
and disbursed following the devastating floods of 2024 and 2025.
The RTI application was submitted to the Deputy Commissioner of Senapati on Tuesday, seeking comprehensive information regarding the allocation, release and utilisation of relief funds meant for flood-affected families in the district.
According to YR4C members, thousands of families residing along the banks of the Senapati River were severely affected during the floods, suffering extensive damage to homes, loss of property, domestic animals and important personal documents. The organisation stated that it has received numerous grievances from affected families over the past several months, alleging that they had not received relief support despite submitting applications to the district administration.
YR4C said that during field visits and interactions with flood victims, several households reported receiving no response from authorities even after repeated appeals for assistance.
In its RTI application, the organisation has sought details on the total funds sanctioned by the Manipur State Government under the Disaster Management Department for flood victims in Senapati district during 2024 and 2025, details of the release and utilisation of relief funds, the complete list of beneficiaries, bank account transaction details related to relief disbursement, flood inspection and damage assessment reports, and other related official records.
The organisation stated that the RTI move aims to ensure transparency and accountability in the utilisation of public funds meant for disaster-affected families. YR4C expressed hope that the Deputy Commissioner’s office would provide the requested information within the stipulated time frame under the RTI Act.
YR4C further stated that it may consider pursuing additional legal measures, including filing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL), if necessary, to ensure justice for affected communities.
The group also appealed to residents of Senapati district to remain vigilant against the misuse of public funds, stating that transparency and civic participation are essential for equitable development across both urban and rural areas of the district.
