Overview

• Modi traveled to Churachandpur and Imphal, laying foundations for works worth about Rs 7,300 crore in the hills and inaugurating projects worth roughly Rs 1,200 crore in the valley.
• He met displaced families, urged all outfits to choose peace, and announced a Rs 3,000 crore special package along with support to build 7,000 houses for those rendered homeless.
• The Home Ministry signed a revised Suspension of Operations in early September with Kuki umbrella groups KNO and UPF, with provisions to relocate camps away from Meitei areas and to respect Manipur’s territorial integrity.
• Kuki-Zo civil groups welcomed the renewed pact and agreed to lift the National Highway-2 blockade to ease movement of people and essential goods.
• Security was tightened for the visit as heavy rain grounded the prime minister’s helicopter, prompting a 60 km road journey to Churachandpur, while core political rifts persist and the state remains under President’s Rule.
