Overview

• Multiple officials say the Prime Minister is expected on September 13 for his first Manipur trip since 2023, though the Centre has not issued a formal schedule and a Manipur BJP leader says there is no official word yet.
• An official Manipur note details SPG‑coordinated security for events at Kangla in Imphal and Peace Ground in Churachandpur, including jammers, anti‑sabotage checks, CCTV, drones and crowd‑control measures.
• In Mizoram, preparations are in place for the inauguration of the 51.38‑km Bairabi–Sairang railway line, a key Act East project connecting Aizawl to Assam’s rail network.
• MHA interlocutors met Kuki‑Zo SoO groups this week to rework terms such as relocating and consolidating camps, formal identification of cadres, regulated movement and direct benefit transfers for stipends, with further meetings expected.
• Talks also explore reopening NH‑2 and NH‑37 to ease movement between the valley and the hills, while Manipur remains under President’s Rule through January 2026 and Congress labels the prospective visit “too little too late.”
