The Manipur government withdrew an order against local authorities barring them from providing food or shelter to refugees from Myanmar. The order was withdrawn after it had provoked outrage as people of the state claimed that the order was against the principles of humanitarianism. In its March 26 order, the Biren Singh government also asked border officials to "politely turn away" Myanmarese seeking refuge in India.
