Great to see focus on Manipur's development! The sports infrastructure really needs upgrading - our youth have so much potential but lack proper facilities. Hope this leads to real change 🙌

While I appreciate the visit, I hope these meetings translate to actual ground-level improvements. We've seen many such reviews before with little visible impact in remote areas.

The focus on youth empowerment is much needed! Manipur's young population is its biggest strength. Good to see sports getting attention alongside economic development.
