Cradling her baby born in a shelter for the displaced in Manipur, Hatneu says she has named her daughter Nganthoibi which aptly means shining light.
Manipur: About 200 babies born in shelters for displaced

Dispelling some of the darkness of 11 months of conflict and continuing uncertainty, Nganthoibi is one of the 200 babies born to displaced women who have taken shelter in different relief camps across the state.

For the women like Hatneu, the last months have been unforgettable. Not just because their lives were upended when violence broke out in Manipur last year in May but because they welcomed their newborns.

"When I held my twins in my arms, all my miseries melted away," a 26-year-old woman at a relief camp in Kakching district told PTI, requesting not to be identified or photographed.
