The Manipur Cabinet has taken significant steps to cut back on state expenses by reducing the number of vehicles in VIP convoys and halting government-sponsored foreign travel. This decision comes amid a wider call by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to address global economic challenges.
Held at the chief minister's secretariat, the cabinet meeting also approved various initiatives, including the filling of 173 Auxiliary Nurse and Midwife positions with central support. Moreover, the cabinet endorsed land compensation for enhancing the Imphal–Jiribam and Imphal–Dimapur highways, promising to speed up these projects.
Further resolutions include rationalizing organizational posts within the Manipur State Power Company Limited to improve employee promotion opportunities.
