Overview

• Multiple Mizoram officials told PTI the Prime Minister is expected on September 13 to inaugurate the 51.38‑km Bairabi–Sairang railway before flying to Manipur.
• An August 30 Manipur General Administration Department note records a proposed September VVIP visit and details security for events at Kangla in Imphal and Peace Ground in Churachandpur.
• The preparatory plan lists jammers, anti‑sabotage checks, view cutters, CCTV, drone surveillance, SPG coordination, bulletproof vehicles and metal detectors along designated routes.
• Officials in Imphal say no formal itinerary has been issued, even as Mizoram held a September 1 review meeting on logistics, security and public participation for the rail ceremony.
• Criticism from Congress leader Jairam Ramesh labels the prospective visit as too late, while Manipur remains under extended President’s Rule through January 2026.
