Imphal: Rescue and relief work was today on in full swing in quake-hit Manipur even as life limped back to normal with markets opening in the state capital.
However, offices and educational institutes remained close in the aftermath of the quake that left seven persons dead and 100 injured.
Several buildings in Manipur secretariat and the landmark Ima market in Imphal had developed cracks while some school structures collapsed.
In markets of the state capital, some women vendors refused to move in fearing there will be cracks in the structure but they later sat in the nearby open area.
The Army and Air Force have started working on relief and rescue operations in quake-hit Manipur since yesterday.
A state cabinet meeting, chaired by Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh yesterday, decided to provide ex-gratia payment of Rs five lakh each to the family of deceased.
The epicenter of the earthquake, which shook the North-East region at 4:30AM was at Kabui Kjulen, 10 km from Noney sub-division of Manipur's Tamenglong district.
