Amit Shah To Visit Manipur In October Amid NRC-Census Push
Amit Shah's proposed Manipur visit comes at a politically sensitive moment, with an intensified campaign for updating the National Register of Citizens (NRC) before the Census.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to embark on a visit to Manipur in the early part of October, as announced by Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh on August 26, 2026. Singh met with Shah at his official residence in New Delhi to discuss the current law and order situation in the state. Shah has committed to laying the foundation stone for a medical college in Senapati district, as well as overseeing other development projects in Manipur.
The Home Minister assured the Chief Minister that the central government will strive to meet the aspirations of the people of Manipur. Singh also highlighted Shah's recent praise for the state government's decision to resume the Imphal-Dimapur-Guwahati bus service, ensuring free movement of all communities on National Highway 2.
Shah's last visit to Manipur was in April 2024, where he campaigned for the Bharatiya Janata Party during the Lok Sabha elections.
