Manipur Clears Land Hurdles and Restarts Work on Imphal–Jiribam Highway

State Cabinet settlements and revised surveys have unblocked a key supply corridor and prompted central consideration of an elevated Imphal road.

Overview

  • Manipur Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh met Union minister Nitin Gadkari in New Delhi to report on steps the state has taken to remove delays on major highways.
  • Land compensation in Noney district was settled after a revised survey and state Cabinet approval, and construction on NH‑37 (Imphal–Jiribam) has resumed.
  • Kangpokpi district problems on the Imphal–Dimapur route were overcome with Cabinet‑approved special packages that have allowed that corridor to move forward.
  • The Imphal–Ukhrul–Jessami highway still has unresolved land stretches and the state is engaging local stakeholders, community leaders and landowners to seek timely resolutions.
  • Singh sought early approval for a proposed elevated highway in Imphal and Gadkari signalled the proposal will receive consideration; reopening the Imphal–Jiribam link restores a vital supply line for fuel, medicines and construction materials.
