Imphal, Aug 10: Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh reviewed the state's security situation and called for steps to facilitate the early resumption of inter-state bus services, with a focus on improving connectivity and easing travel for people.
The review comes as the state continues efforts to strengthen security and restore normal movement. The proposed return of inter-state bus services is expected to improve road connectivity and make travel easier for residents, families, students, workers and traders who depend on public transport.
During the review, the Chief Minister emphasised the importance of maintaining a secure environment to support the gradual restoration of essential services and public movement.
The resumption of bus services would also help reconnect Manipur with neighbouring states and support the movement of people and goods, benefiting local businesses and communities that rely on regular road transport.
For many residents, reliable inter-state public transport is an important part of everyday life, particularly for those travelling outside the state for work, education, healthcare and other essential needs.
The government is expected to coordinate with security and transport authorities to assess routes and create conditions for the safe and smooth operation of the services.
The move is being seen as part of wider efforts to improve connectivity and help communities return to more normal routines while ensuring that security considerations remain a priority.
A safe and reliable transport network can also contribute to economic activity by supporting tourism, trade and local businesses and strengthening Manipur's links with the rest of the Northeast.
