In preparation for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's anticipated visit, a team of central security officials arrived in Imphal on Tuesday to ensure comprehensive security measures in Manipur. The visit underscores heightened security amid expectations of public rallies in Imphal and Churachandpur.
The central team, alongside state police and paramilitary forces, will thoroughly evaluate security needs. They plan to conduct area domination exercises and safeguard potential venues the Prime Minister may visit. The collaboration aims for rigorous security arrangements, a state official disclosed.
This visit, if it occurs, will be Modi's first since ethnic clashes between Imphal Valley-based Meiteis and Kuki-Zo people from neighboring hills erupted in May, resulting in over 260 casualties and displacing thousands. It represents a significant endeavor to address tensions within the region.
