Manipur Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh highlighted the importance of balanced development throughout the state, emphasizing that progress in all districts, not just the capital city Imphal, is essential for Manipur’s advancement. During his first visit to Senapati district, he advocated for equal development and increased per capita income across all regions to promote understanding and harmony among the diverse communities in Manipur. Singh praised civil society groups in Senapati, Mao, and Kangpokpi for their support in restoring peace after past conflicts.
Singh’s visit to Senapati district, via Kangpokpi district, marked a significant move towards normalcy after nearly three years. He attended a reception hosted by the Senapati District Frontal Organisations and was joined by Deputy Chief Minister Losii Dikho and several MLAs. The Chief Minister emphasized unity among communities to drive the state towards greater development, echoing the vision of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee for the Northeast’s progress.
Acknowledging the memorandum requesting a medical college in Senapati, Singh assured the matter would be discussed in the upcoming state cabinet meeting. He also instructed the Deputy Chief Minister to work on a Detailed Project Report for improving the district’s sewerage system and address the relocation of the congested Senapati Police Station. Additionally, plans for the development of the Barak Festival site will be finalized in consultation with the Tourism Department and stakeholders.
