In season two of Dispatches from Manipur, independent journalist Greeshma Kuthar will follow up on many issues that the podcast touched upon during our reportage in season one. We are at a stage where more than six months have gone by and there seems to be no respite for those affected by this war. We will be interviewing individuals who are affected by this violence to understand why is it that the Manipur state government and the central government are yet to take concrete steps to end the war. This is while we report from the ground about how the civil war between the Meiteis and the Kuki-Zomi people continues. 

In episode one, we spoke to some of the most affected during the war: displaced Kuki-Zomi students who were studying in universities and colleges spread across Imphal, who had to flee from the capital city in May after they were threatened and attacked by mobs. 

In our previous episodes from season one, we've heard the accounts of these students and their predicament. In this episode, we will be revisiting the problems these students continue to face, with no substantive intervention yet either from central or state authorities. 

Infact, examinations are now being conducted for first year MBBS and BDS students in Imphal, while their displaced Kuki-Zomi class classmates in the hill districts have been left out. We'll be speaking to Niangngaihlian and Elizabeth, two MBBS students from Regional Institute of Medical Sciences to understand how displaced medical students are coping, in spite of receiving no support to continue their education.
