PM Modi considers visiting Manipur post-ethnic conflict

Prime Minister Narendra Modi might finally visit Manipur, over two years after the state faced major ethnic clashes.
The idea came up during a recent trip by Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, who met with top officials to talk relief for displaced people and start planning for Modi's possible arrival.

TL;DR

Preparations underway for possible visit

Imphal is seeing some quick upgrades—roads are being improved and there's talk of new helipads—hinting that preparations are underway.
Even though things have calmed down a bit, travel on main highways is still tough and President's Rule has been in place since February.
Meanwhile, the central government is talking with Kuki-Zo groups to help restore peace, and many see Modi's potential visit as a hopeful step toward normalcy.
