Imphal, September 05 2021:
The BJP-led coalition government is all set to launch the second edition of 'Go To Hills' mission programme initiated by chief minister N Biren to establish good relation with people of the hills.
All the preparations for launch of 'Go To Hills 2.0' have been made at Peace Ground, Tuibong in Churachandpur and chief minister Biren will launch the special programme at 11 am on Monday in the presence of his council of ministers and ML As.
The government launched 'Go To Hills' programme in March, 2017 but it remained suspended in 2019-20 due to COVID-19 pandemic.
Soon after launch of 'Go To Hills' programme, Union DONeR minister Dr Jitendra visited Manipur on June 6, 2017 and launched 'Hill Area Development Programme (HADP)' for North Eastern states.
The minister also announced that special fund will be earmarked under HADP for taking up development projects in hill districts of North Eastern states.
It is likely that some special development programmes for Churachandpur district might be announced during the launch ceremony on Monday.
