Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh convened a high‑level security meeting on Thursday, focusing on the protection of the state’s critical infrastructure. The gathering included senior officials from the army, paramilitary forces and the state police, who were briefed on the vulnerabilities of ongoing road, bridge and power‑generation projects.
During the session, the CM emphasized that any disruption to these projects could hamper economic development and affect the daily lives of citizens. He instructed the security agencies to deploy additional personnel, conduct regular patrols, and use surveillance technology to monitor construction sites.
