Many Congress MLAs led by O Ibobi have also left Imphal. The visit has been considered as an important political development by political experts.
During an interaction programme with members of the Editors’ Guild, Manipur at his office chamber, Chief Minister N Biren said that he will approach the Centre to provide two choppers to the State Government so that the same may be used as ambulance to air lift sick and ailing people from the hill and interior areas.
The Chief Minister also said that he will put it before the Centre to help construct all women markets at all the hill district headquarters.
This will go a long way in economically empowering women in the hill districts, he said.
