Announcements are easy to make. Let's see the actual work on the ground. The report on housing for IDPs is important – hope it's not just another file moving between desks. The people of Manipur need real solutions, not just promises. 🙏

Viksit Bharat, Viksit Manipur! This is the vision we need. Improving road infrastructure will boost the local economy and tourism. The PM's vision for the North East is finally seeing action. Good step by the CM.

The mention of cleaning phumdis in Loktak Lake is very welcome. It's a delicate ecological zone and the lifeline for many communities. Hope the 'systematic cleansing' is done scientifically and involves local experts, not just contractors.

As someone who has visited Manipur, I can say better roads are desperately needed. It's heartening to see the government focusing on basic infrastructure. The bridge completion in 5 days sounds ambitious – hope it's realistic.

The CM visiting constituencies and listening to grievances is a positive sign of grassroots connect. However, the real test is timely follow-up and execution. The people have heard many assurances before. Action speaks louder than words.
