New Delhi, Mar 12 : Central Government is leaving no stone unturned in its effort to usher in peace and give impetus to developmental activities in the northeast region.
Recently, Union Home Secretary GK Pillai visited Manipur to assess the law and order situation.
Pillai's visit primarily focused on taking stock of ongoing development projects in the state. These included working condition of newly inaugurated state bank ATM's, ongoing road projects, tenders under implementation, newly started sports complex, district hospital, power situation and mobile connectivity in the region.
Pillai also visited Thoubal district in Manipur to inspect newly procured hovercrafts from the USA. The hovercrafts purchased at a cost of Rs 5.23 crores, will help the Manipur police in their counterinsurgency operations.
"We want to pass the message to the government that tribals in the region are coming together to help bring peace in the society," said Thomas, President, All Tribal Students Union, Manipur.
Manipur has been affected by militancy, which has adversely affected the development of the region. But with the arrest of many militant leaders and the decision of various outfits to come forward for talks, it seems that things have taken a turn for the better.
