Manipur Government Announces Reopening of Highways and Resumption of Bus Services
Manipur Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh, alongside Deputy Chief Minister Nemcha Kipgen, announced the immediate reopening of National Highways and the resumption of bus services connecting Imphal with neighboring states. This move aims to restore connectivity and ease hardships caused by prolonged blockades amid ethnic tensions involving Kuki-Zo, Meitei, and Naga communities. The government also inaugurated development projects and distributed welfare benefits during the visit to Kangpokpi district. While some communities welcomed the decision, concerns remain over ongoing disputes and demands for separate administrations.
