Manipur CM Reports Progress on Imphal Ring Road as Land Acquisition Nears Completion
Manipur Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh reported that the Imphal Ring Road project's land acquisition is nearly complete, except for a section in Khurai Ipum Pat, Imphal East District. Delays were attributed to law-and-order issues and land acquisition challenges. The Asian Development Bank-funded project has seen Rs 105 crore paid in land compensation, with Rs 60 crore pending. The state government has invested Rs 189 crore in civil works, and officials recently met ADB representatives to finalize remaining procedures.
