Modi Makes First Manipur Visit Since 2023, Unveils Rs 7,300-Crore Works and Relief Package

The visit followed a renewed truce with Kuki groups, aiming to advance reconciliation through development pledges plus support for displaced families.

Overview

  • The prime minister traveled to Churachandpur and Imphal, met people displaced by the ethnic clashes, and urged all outfits to choose the path of peace to secure their children's future.
  • He laid foundation stones for projects worth about Rs 7,300 crore in Churachandpur and inaugurated works exceeding Rs 1,200 crore in Imphal, framing development as key to stability.
  • The Centre announced a special package of roughly Rs 3,000 crore and committed to help build about 7,000 houses for families uprooted by the violence.
  • In Imphal he opened the Civil Secretariat, an IT SEZ building, a new police headquarters, Manipur Bhawans in Delhi and Kolkata, and upgrades to Ima Markets across four districts.
  • Security was tightened across key venues as heavy rain forced a road journey to Churachandpur, and the trip came shortly after the Suspension of Operations with Kuki umbrella groups was extended.
