There are over 100 Myanmar nationals who, despite having completed their sentences and paid all their fines for illegally staying in Manipur State, are still being held at Imphal Prison. Their families are allowed to contact them once a week.

Family members of those imprisoned say they are facing difficulties in raising 50,000 rupees because they have been fleeing conflict and lack stable employment.

      Your source says 40% would struggle which is a higher threshold than couldn’t but that means 60% would not struggle to pay.

        You’re either trolling or completely out of touch/ignorant on the subject.
