Manipur govt announces free movement on NH, Imphal-Dimapur bus service to resume
As part of the government’s ongoing peace-building and reconciliation efforts, the CM visited Kangpokpi district headquarters
The Manipur government has announced the immediate reopening of National Highways for free movement of all communities, including the resumption of the Imphal-Dimapur bus service. This announcement was made at Kangpokpi district headquarters, a predominantly Kuki-Zo community area, where the Kuki-Zo–Meitei conflict erupted on May 3, 2023.
The crisis has resulted in over 260 deaths and the displacement of more than 60,000 people. The announcement comes as part of the government's peace-building and reconciliation efforts, with the chief minister visiting Kangpokpi district headquarters, holding meetings with community leaders, inaugurating development projects, and distributing welfare benefits.
The government has faced challenges in implementing free movement along NH-2 due to protests, but this latest development marks a historic occasion and is seen as a step towards ensuring development and peace for the entire state.
