Imphal: Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh today called for collective efforts to restore peace in Manipur and strengthen unity among the State’s different communities, stressing that mutual understanding and the willingness to work together were essential for the State’s progress. He was speaking at the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan held at Chumthang Shanapung, Langthabal Lep Makha Leikai, under Naoriya Pakhanglakpa Assembly Constituency.
The Chief Minister observed that despite expressing love for Manipur, some people remained unwilling to go beyond the valley and embrace all communities. He emphasised that Manipur, home to 36 communities, needed leaders capable of bringing people together and fostering unity.
Speaking on India’s economic progress, the Chief Minister stated that the country had been progressing towards becoming one of the world’s fastest-growing economies since Shri Narendra Modi became Prime Minister. He noted that India had entered the top four economies globally in terms of economic growth.
Referring to the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, Yumnam Khemchand Singh stated that as India moves towards becoming a developed nation, the people of Manipur must also contribute meaningfully to achieving this national goal. He stressed that efforts to restore peace in the State must be pursued collectively, with all sections of society working together towards this objective.
Citing Singapore as an example, the Chief Minister said that while there were valuable lessons to be learnt from the experiences of other countries, people must also be willing to learn, work hard and bring about positive changes in their own society.
Highlighting the development of Naoriya Pakhanglakpa Assembly Constituency, the Chief Minister stated that roads in the constituency were now being constructed using the rigid pavement system, although the construction process required considerable time.
As part of the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan, outreach camps were organised by 42 different government departments, enabling people to access government services, obtain information and avail themselves of various welfare schemes.
The programme was attended by Sagolshem Kebi Devi, MLA, Naoriya Pakhanglakpa Assembly Constituency; Tongbram Robindro Singh, MLA, Thanga Assembly Constituency; R.K. Taruni Devi, Chairperson, Imphal West Zilla Parishad; officials of various government departments; local representatives and members of the public.
