National Highway-2 to Reopen in Manipur, Paving Way for PM Modi’s Visit; Key Agreements Signed

A significant achievement has been made in Manipur, with the Kuki-Zo Council deciding to reopen National Highway-2. This development precedes the planned visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 13th. The decision to open the National Highway-2, as well as additional agreements concerning peace and stability within the state, emerged from discussions between the Kuki-Zo Council and the Ministry of Home Affairs. These talks have been conducted to find solutions to the conflict. National Highway-2 holds great importance for Manipur, serving as a crucial link between Imphal and cities like Kangpokpi and Churachandpur. The highway’s closure, initiated by the Kuki community following ethnic violence, had a significant impact on transportation and the flow of essential goods.
