Manipur Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla Visits Conflict-Hit Kangpokpi, Inaugurates IT Centre

The CSOs formally submitted a memorandum outlining pressing demands, highlighting the humanitarian crisis and unresolved political issues.

In a significant move, Manipur Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla visited the conflict-hit Kangpokpi district today, marking his first trip to the region since assuming office. His visit underscores the government’s commitment to addressing public concerns amid ongoing ethnic tensions in the state.

Breaking from tradition, Governor Bhalla has opted to operate from the state secretariat rather than the Raj Bhavan, reflecting a proactive governance approach. During his visit, he inaugurated a state-of-the-art IT Centre at Presidency College, Motbung, aiming to foster digital education and expand opportunities for local youth.

Upon arrival at Motbung Model Village, Governor Bhalla was warmly received before proceeding to the Deputy Commissioner’s Office. There, he engaged with key Kuki-Zo civil society organisations, including the Kuki-Zo Council (KZC), Kuki Inpi Sadar Hills, and Thadou Inpi – General Headquarters.

The CSOs formally submitted a memorandum outlining pressing demands, highlighting the humanitarian crisis and unresolved political issues.

Their requests included urgent resettlement of internally displaced persons, direct access to central government funding, expedited political talks for separate administration, and the activation of approved helicopter services. Governor Bhalla’s visit signals a renewed focus on resolving these critical issues.
