Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday appealed for peace and unity in Manipur, stressing that development cannot take place without stability, justice, and truth.

The remarks came during PM Modi’s first visit to Manipur in two years since unrest broke out in 2023. He addressed a public event in Churachandpur after launching development projects.

PM Modi assured the people of Manipur that the Centre stands firmly with them and said, “I appeal to all organisations to move forward together peacefully, fulfil your dreams, and secure a better future for your children."

Reflecting on the state’s troubled past, PM Modi noted, “Manipur — this land once held hope and dreams, but was also caught in the grip of violence. For development to take place anywhere, peace is essential along with truth and justice."

The Prime Minister’s remarks come amid ongoing ethnic tensions between the Meitei and Kuki communities, which have claimed over 260 lives since May 2023 and displaced nearly 50,000 people.

PM Modi, who is on his first visit to the state in two years, also laid the foundation stone of development projects worth more than Rs 7,300 crore, including road, infrastructure, and women’s welfare schemes.
