India recorded 5.4 million displacements in 2024 due to floods, storms and other disasters, the highest figure in 12 years, a new report said on Tuesday.
The report by the Geneva-based Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) said that the country recorded 1,700 displacements associated with violence — fewer than in 2023 when communal violence escalated in Manipur.
Further violent incidents in Manipur, including the burning of homes, triggered 1,000 movements in 2024. PTI
