Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday visited Manipur for the first time since ethnic violence broke out in the state in May 2023 and urged all outfits to seek peace.
Addressing a gathering after laying foundation stones for projects worth over Rs 7,300 crore from Churachandpur, which was one of the worst-affected areas in the violence that claimed at least 260 lives and left thousands displaced, he said he wants to make Manipur "a symbol of peace and prosperity".
