Imphal, December 18 2024: Chief Minister N Biren Singh has sought the support and cooperation of all indigenous and recognised communities of Manipur to restore normalcy in the State.

Speaking as the chief guest at the inaugural function of the Robvena Ni 2024 festival at Asufii Robvena Ground, Punanamei Village, Senapati district, the Chief Minister continued that people of Senapati especially civil society organisations like Naga Peoples' Organisation, United Naga Council, student associations have a big role to play in maintaining Manipur's unity, integrity and promote peaceful coexistence of all indigenous population.

N Biren Singh opened the three day festival by lighting the ceremonial fire.

The Chief Minister continued that Manipur has been facing an unfortunate situation since the last 19 months, but with God's grace the situation has started to improve slowly.

He explained that all humans are bound to make mistakes, but there should be room for reconciliation and to forgive one another.

N Biren Singh also stressed on the importance of equal development.

He said that there can be no unity, peace and development in Manipur without mutual respect.

Saying that the Go to Hills was initiated and taken up to bring about equal development in both the hills and valley, N Biren said that the Government wants to bring more development in the hill districts.

He said that the Government has taken up an initiative to provide special health facilities like MRI, CT scan and others in hill districts like Senapati, Tamenglong, Ukhrul and Chandel.

The Chief Minister also said that road connectivity has improved in Manipur Union Minister of Road, Transport & Highways Nitin Gadkari has announced Rs 777 crore (approx.) worth project for improvement and widening of Shangshak (Ukhrul) to Tengnoupal road.

He said the construction of Maram-Peren Road will also be completed at the earliest.

N Biren Singh also spoke about the benefits of Go to Village, CMHT and Ayushman Cards.

There are 34-35 recognised tribes in Manipur which include 24-25 indigenous tribes and some other old settlers, the Chief Minister said and added that the Sangai Ethnic Park was constructed to advocate peaceful coexistence.

He also spoke about the ill effects of drugs in society.

The War on Drugs which started in 2018 doesn't target any community, he said.

He also said that identification of illegal immigrants was initiated through proper Constitutional provisions after witnessing growth of unrecognized villages through satellite mapping, he said.

Saying that a Mao Bazar has been set up in Imphal, the Chief Minister added that the Government is planning to construct a Unity Mall with stalls to accommodate every recognized tribe in Imphal East.

The Chief Minister also said that the Government is building the only multi-storey car parking in Manipur in Senapati.

The Chief Minister also extended his Christmas greetings to the people.

The chief host of the inaugural programme was Mao AC MLA Losii Dikho.
