The Manipur government has lifted restrictions on national highways, allowing unrestricted traffic flow and announcing the resumption of the Imphal‑Dimapur bus link.
The state government of Manipur has announced that all national highways within its jurisdiction have been reopened, permitting free movement of vehicles and pedestrians. This decision follows the lifting of earlier restrictions that had limited traffic flow across key routes.
In addition to the highway reopening, officials confirmed that the bus service connecting Imphal, the state capital, with Dimapur in neighboring Nagaland will resume operations. The service, which had been suspended, is expected to enhance connectivity between the two states.
Transport authorities have stated that the resumption will be phased, with safety checks and necessary infrastructure upgrades completed before full service is restored. Commuters and freight operators have welcomed the move, anticipating smoother travel and reduced logistical delays.
