Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday reached Manipur, first time after the ethnic violence broke out in the region.

He addressed a public meeting in Kuki-dominated Churachandpur district and said the Centre’s continuous efforts towards peace led to talks between the two warring sides.

“It is unfortunate that violence happened here. Today, I want to promise you that the Government of India is with you and I am with you," he said. “India will soon become the world’s third-largest economy, and I want to ensure that the fruits of development reach every corner of the country," PM added.

Before addressing the crowd, PM Modi laid the foundation stone of multiple development projects worth over Rs 7,300 crore at Churachandpur. In line with his commitment to inclusive, sustainable and holistic development of Manipur, PM Modi will lay the foundation for the Manipur Urban Roads and drainage and asset management improvement project worth over Rs 3,600 crore.

PM has now reached Imphal. Here, he will inaugurate multiple development projects worth more than Rs 1,200 crore. These projects include the Civil Secretariat at Mantripukhri; IT SEZ Building and New Police Headquarters at Mantripukhri; Manipur Bhawans at Delhi and Kolkata; and Ima Markets, a unique all-women’s market, in four districts.

Earlier today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi dedicated Mizoram’s first railway line, the Bairabi-Sairang express to the nation. “This is not just a railway connection, but it is a lifeline of transportation. It will revolutionise the lives and livelihoods of people of Mizoram. Farmers and businesses of Mizoram can reach more markets across the nation," PM Modi said.
