Murmu Concludes Manipur Visit With Peace Appeal, Nupi Lal Tributes and Development Push

The two-day outreach emphasized support for displaced families alongside tribal development pledges against persistent security strains.

Overview

  • President Droupadi Murmu paid floral tributes on the 86th Nupi Lal Day in Imphal and offered prayers at Shree Govindaji temple before flying to Senapati district.
  • She met internally displaced persons and assured government support to secure homes, restore livelihoods and safeguard children's futures.
  • Across the visit, she inaugurated 12 projects worth ₹206.97 crore and laid foundations for 14 more worth ₹1,180.21 crore spanning health, power, drinking water, roads and tribal development.
  • In Senapati, she highlighted inclusive growth for hill areas, cited the Maram community as Manipur’s sole PVTG and referenced PM JANMAN interventions for tribal welfare.
  • A shutdown called by banned outfits largely closed Imphal’s markets, schools and transport, underscoring continuing tensions in a state under President’s Rule after violence that has left at least 260 dead and about 60,000 displaced.
