In the run up to Assembly polls in Manipur, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Manipur and Tripura on January 4, to inaugurate and lay the foundation stone for various developmental projects. At around 11 AM, the Prime Minister will inaugurate and lay the foundation stone of 22 Developmental Projects worth over Rs. 4800 crore in Imphal.

“In Manipur, the Prime Minister will inaugurate 13 projects worth around Rs 1,850 crore and lay the foundation stone of nine projects worth around Rs 2,950 crore,” a release from the Prime Minister's Office said.

PM Modi will lay the foundation stone for construction of five National Highway projects, to be built at a cost of over Rs 1,700 crore. The construction of these highways, with a cumulative length of more than 110 kilometres, will be a major step to improve the road connectivity in the region. 

These projects relate to diverse sectors such as Road Infrastructure, Drinking Water Supply, Health, Urban Development, Housing, Information Technology, Skill Development, Art and Culture, among others.

“Another important infrastructure that will enhance seamless year-round connectivity to Silchar from Imphal and reduce traffic congestion is the construction of Steel Bridge built over Barak River on NH-37 built at a cost of over Rs 75 crore. This Steel Bridge will be inaugurated by the Prime Minister during the programme,” the release said.

In Tripura, the Prime Minister will inaugurate the new integrated terminal building of Agartala's Maharaja Bir Bikram (MBB) airport. He will also launch other key initiatives like Mukhyamantri Tripura Gram Samridhi Yojana and Project Mission 100 of Vidyajyoti Schools.

The stage is set for Assembly elections in five states -- Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Manipur, Goa and Punjab.
