Air India Delhi-Imphal Daily Direct Flights by April: Manipur CM

Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh said that the Ministry of Civil Aviation has assured the State Government that Air India would begin daily direct flights from New Delhi to Imphal by first week of April, 2018. This was stated by him at the inaugural function of 3rd International Convention of Service Industry NER(I)-ASEAN FOCUS CLMV (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam) held at Classic Grande, Imphal on Thursday.

The Chief Minister said that the government is planning to build a Resort to attract more tourists in the State. The government is trying to acquire 100 acres of land near Tengnoupal area in Imphal-Moreh road for the construction of the Resort, he added. He stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has allocated funds for the construction of 39 big culverts in the areas of Indo-Myanmar border. Chief Minister informed that he along with the Chief Minister of Sagaing Region, Myanmar would jointly inaugurate the said culverts soon.

Mentioning that Manipur is the gateway to South East Asian countries, Chief Minister maintained that we should make Imphal/Manipur an important location/station because the routes will be shortened to connect the South East Asian countries. He further stressed that the State government is trying its best to increase tourists flow in the State. Stating that the State has hosted the NEDS 2017 in Imphal, first of its kind in the entire North East, Chief Minister said that following the footsteps of the State, states like Assam and Uttar Pradesh have started organising similar Business Summit in their respective states. He maintained that better connectivity is very important to bring development in the region.

Stating that we need a collective effort to be a part of global movement for change, Chief Minister urged the people of the State to commit ourselves to bring change in terms of our attitude, behaviour and mind etc.
