Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting Manipur on Saturday, his first visit since the 2023 ethnic violence that claimed over 200 lives. The visit comes amid opposition criticism for not assessing the situation earlier. PM Modi will launch development projects worth ₹8,500 crore during his trip. He will first land in Churachandpur, one of the worst-hit areas, to meet internally displaced persons and lay foundation stones for projects worth over ₹7,300 crore.
