Abstract The paper discusses the interrelation between displacement, resettlement, and infrastructure affected by the ethnic conflict in Manipur. The conflict between the Meitei community and the Kuki tribes began in May 2023, triggered by the Manipur High Court’s recommendation on the Meitei demand for “Scheduled Tribe” status, which led to large-scale internal displacement and the collapse of essential infrastructure. The purpose of this paper is to assess the effect of inadequate infrastructure on the internally displaced persons (IDPs) residing within the relief camps. A qualitative research design is utilised, which is based on secondary data sources, such as reports by international organizations, government documents, media reports, and academic literature. The results indicate a lack of proper infrastructure in relief camps, which contributes to overcrowding, inadequate sanitation, inaccessible healthcare, and disrupted education, proving that a planned rehabilitation plan, humanitarian support, and universal peace-building measures are highly needed to facilitate sustainable recovery and resilience among the diverse communities in Manipur.
