With many stranded people returning back to their homes after the Prime Minister opened transportation channels via railways and buses, thousands of people are heading to Manipur. And in order to help those, villagers in Manipur have set up over eighty huts acting as quarantine centres. The community has pulled a significant effort to accommodate displaced migrants.

The district administration revealed that they achieved this feat without any financial aid from the government. The villagers thatch more than eighty huts made from bamboo in Senapati district's Tungjoy village, which happens to be about 115 km away from the state capital.

Chief Minister N. Biren Singh tweeted: "My salute, Tungjoy village authorities have set up 80 huts for quarantine of their villagers who are going to come from outside the state. Each hut is fitted with a bed, separate toilet, gas table and electricity with charging socket. Water supply is provided at various locations."
