I am not politically inclined toward Hon'ble CM Biren but support his initiatives to safeguard Manipur’s indigenous people, their culture, and land, recognizing his efforts and sacrifices in addressing external threats.

What Director Lakshmipriya Devi said on the world stage of the BAFTA in 2026, during her historic win for Boong, her debut Manipuri feature film, truly echoed the voices of the masses and innocent citizens of our region.
Her description of Manipur as deeply ignored and underrepresented within India, my homeland, resonated with the lived realities of many discontented yet hopeful people like us. When she introduced the child actors as a testimony to the suffering of internally displaced children, it was a moment that went beyond cinema, it became a moral appeal for justice. In that powerful instant, she represented every suffering citizen of the state, transcending communal or ethnocentric narratives.
She emerged with clarity and courage, speaking the right words at the right time, on the right platform. What many of us have struggled to articulate for years, she expressed before the world with dignity and conviction.
My heartfelt thanks to her and the entire team of Boong for this remarkable achievement. I extend my personal gratitude to her, she has done what many of us could not accomplish despite years of effort. I wish her continued strength and success in all her future endeavours.
Heartiest congratulations to the team of Boong on winning the BAFTA Award for Best Children’s and Family Film at the BAFTA Awards 2026.
A Manipuri-language film earning a distinguished international recognition reflects the immense talent, creativity, and resilience of our filmmakers and artists. This achievement brings immense pride to our State and the nation. Congratulations to the entire team on this remarkable success.
The historic achievement of Boong, the Manipuri film at BAFTA, which is the British equivalent of the Oscars, marks a truly significant milestone for the state and India.
Through the powerful medium of cinema, director Lakshmipriya Devi has raised the voice of Manipur & India on the global stage, telling our stories with grace, truth, and pride.
Manipur has always brought immense glory to our nation across various fields from performance arts to cinema, and this honour continues that proud tradition.
She has upheld the rich legacy of Manipuri cinema with dignity and excellence, inspiring countless young aspirants to dream big & pursue their passion fearlessly.
As Manipur steadily walks the path of peace and harmony, her cinematic contribution will definitely play a meaningful role in healing hearts & bringing reconciliation. We are truly proud of this honor.
Nestled in the heart of Manipur, Koirengei Airfield stands as a poignant testament to the valor & sacrifices of World War II, particularly during the pivotal Battle of Imphal-Kohima in 1944.
This historic runway served as a vital artery for Allied supplies, enabling airdrops that thwarted Japanese advances and safeguarded India's sovereignty. Amidst relentless bombings, starvation, and displacement, the resilient Manipuri people played an indispensable role in what is hailed as Britain's greatest battle, embodying unwavering courage and humanity.
In the present day, encroachments by defense establishments risk obliterating this invaluable heritage, reducing this revered soil to ordinary development. Such amnesia must be confronted. By designating Koirengei as a World Heritage site, we can cultivate tourism, establish memorials and research hubs, and promote international harmony, thereby honoring the fallen heroes & our forefathers' enduring legacy.
We also extend our gratitude to Shri N Biren Singh for tirelessly highlighting this urgent need since 2017, including his recent poignant appeal to Hon'ble Defence Minister, Shri Rajnath Singh. His resolute efforts continue to inspire us towards safeguarding our shared history. Let us rally together to preserve the Koirengei airfield before it fades into oblivion.

The poppy fields continue to emerge in the hill districts of Manipur despite the measures being undertaken by the security forces to curb their cultivation.
These plantations do not cater to any small-time local business but are tied to an international supply chain that reaches all corners of the world.
The powerful drug cartels remain hell-bent on shifting the Golden Triangle to the Indian state of Manipur by running a parallel economy of drugs worth around Rs 60,000 crore, which far exceeds the annual budget for the state.
The poppy fields are the root cause of the conflict in Manipur, as the violence erupted in reaction to the intensive poppy destruction drives carried out by Shri N. Biren Singh's government.
In this footage, the Indian paramilitary forces express their disbelief and amazement at finding the endless fields of poppy despite the poppy destruction they have been carrying out. The security personnel came across a massive poppy field after destroying five similar poppy fields.
They are heard saying, "This is why the attacks, the targeting, and the shooting at the Meiteis will continue, as these opium fields will replenish the bombs and guns of the militants."
The Indian government must address this issue with the utmost seriousness and make committed efforts to tackle this grave threat to the youths of Manipur and the nation.

Heartiest congratulations to our pride of Manipur, Linthoi Chanambam, on being honoured with the Best Judoka (Girls) title at the Junior National Judo Championships in Kolkata.
Your outstanding achievements at various national as well as international arenas, and this well-deserved recognition make us immensely proud. Keep working hard & continue bringing more laurels to the state and nation.
Some places hold history; others carry it. Koirengei Airfield is one such place. Started operating in 1942 amidst the chaos of World War II, it became a lifeline during the Battle of Imphal and a gateway to survival for thousands fleeing the Japanese invasion of Burma. When bodies failed and feet could no longer move, ordinary Manipuri villagers carried refugees on their backs, shared their food, and turned compassion into resistance against despair. Koirengei later witnessed Manipur’s journey into democracy and nationhood.
Recognising the immense historical and human value of this site, former Chief Minister of Manipur, Shri @NBirenSingh , has raised the issue with the Central leadership, urging that Koirengei Airfield be preserved as a Heritage & Memorial Landscape for future generations. To preserve this airfield is to protect stories of courage, kindness and collective memory that belong not only to Manipur, but to India and the world.

Did u know that on 19 Oct 1994, bus passengers including Meeteis, Nagas and Non Manipuris were Brutally Massacred by the Myanmar origin Chin-Kuki NarcoTerrorists sponsored by Indian Govt?
Happy Republic Day @HMOIndia@PMOIndia@govt_of_manipur@AmitShah@narendramodi
Unfurled the National Flag at my residence, on the occasion of the 77th Republic Day, reaffirming my commitment to the ideals of our Constitution- justice, liberty, equality and fraternity. May the tricolour continue to guide us towards unity, peace and progress.
“It is learnt that today (Jan 21) evening at around 1830 hrs. one Meitei Mayanglambam (tribal name Ginminthang) h/o Chingnu Haokip was kidnapped by armed miscreants (suspected to be UKNA) from Tuibong, CCpur.
The kidnappers took both husband and wife towards Natjang (PS-Henglep, Distt-CCpur) where he was suspected to be eliminated by the kidnappers.
It is further gathered that, Mrs Chiinu Haokip took prior consent from KNO & Tuibong DHQ authorities to let her husband visit her for a few days as her husband was working in Nepal and had come on leave. She was given permission by the concerned authorities.
The husband hails from Kakching Khunou”.
The time for equivocation is over. Indian State agencies must immediately and forcefully act against terrorist and separatist elements that continue to operate openly in Manipur. Decades of appeasement, restraint, and so-called “confidence-building” measures have utterly failed. The carrot policy stands fully exhausted. What remains is the absolute necessity of the stick - applied swiftly, decisively, and without compromise.
Any further inaction will no longer be interpreted as caution or complexity. It will be read as deliberate acquiescence. If these organised narco-terrorist groups are not dismantled and neutralised forthwith, the unavoidable conclusion will be that the Government of India has chosen to compromise with forces that fund themselves through drugs, violence, and ethnic terror while actively undermining national sovereignty.
Let it be stated without ambiguity: the continued existence of armed terrorist networks is not a failure of intelligence but a failure of political will. The selective blindness of the State, its tolerance of armed illegality, and its refusal to enforce the rule of law amount to nothing less than institutional complicity. Such conduct makes the Indian State morally and constitutionally culpable for every act of terror that follows.
History does not absolve governments that negotiate with narco-terrorism under the guise of peace. It indicts them. If the Indian State continues to shield, indulge, or ignore these groups, it will stand exposed, not as a neutral arbiter, but as an enabler of organised terror against its own citizens in Manipur.

A serious #controversy has emerged from the ongoing 69th National School Games in #Imphal, #Manipur, after members of the #Rajasthan school #Wushu team alleged grave security lapses, administrative mismanagement, and extortion by suspected armed militants while returning from Imphal. Despite delivering stellar performance, the young athletes claim they were left stranded, humiliated, and forced to rely on their parents to return home safely.
I strongly condemn the unprovoked IED attack at Saiton, Nganukon in Bishnupur district. Targeting civilian homes, even in areas under security cover, is a cowardly act and a grave threat to public safety. Such violence is meant to spread fear and destabilise peace.
There must be zero tolerance for attacks on civilians. The perpetrators must be identified and dealt with firmly.

Manipur must be the Ground Zero for India’s “Detect, Delete, Deport” policy.
Unchecked illegal infiltration from Myanmar and Bangladesh has fuelled ethnic tension, poppy cultivation, deforestation, narco-terrorism, and a dangerous demographic imbalance. For years, Manipur has borne the consequences of delayed decisions, turning a national security issue into an existential crisis for indigenous communities.
Former CM @NBirenSingh consistently warned the Centre and acted on the ground.
From scrapping the Free Movement Regime demands, launching identification and biometric drives, evicting illegal settlements from protected forests, to the War on Drugs and exposing large-scale infiltration, his government documented what others ignored. Today’s call for “Detect, Delete, Deport” must begin where the warning was first sounded — Manipur.

Heartfelt gratitude to Hon'ble President @rashtrapatibhvn Smt Droupadi Murmu ji for her gracious visit to Senapati District today and for the warm interaction with our diverse tribal communities, including the proud Maram tribe which is our only Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG) in Manipur.
Her presence in our hills, amidst a time of challenges, brings immense hope, reaffirms the Centre's commitment to tribal welfare, peace, and inclusive development, and strengthens the bond between the Northeast and the rest of the nation.
It was a honour to meet the Hon’ble President of India Smt Droupadi Murmu Ji, @rashtrapatibhvn at Lok Bhavan Imphal during a special dinner. Her gracious presence and thoughtful interaction reflected the dignity of the highest constitutional office. An evening marked by warmth, wisdom, and respect for our democratic values.
Hon'ble President, Smt Droupadi Murmu, pays tribute to our brave Manipuri mothers on Nupi Lal Day.
We are filled with deep & immense pride as we honour the unbreakable spirit and extraordinary might of our brave Manipuri mothers who fearlessly rose against colonial oppression and injustice in 1904 and 1939. Their unmatched courage continues to inspire us all as a symbol of collective strength and resolve.

The era of reaping political gains through the votes of illegal infiltrators is over. Many have climbed to power with such fraudulent means but this manipulation will no longer be tolerated in our nation.
Through the Special Intensive Revision (SIR), infiltrators will be systematically identified and their names struck off the electoral rolls.
Under no circumstances will we permit illegal infiltrators to influence or determine the government of this country.
I urge the people of Manipur to continue supporting measures for harmony and development. Let us together strengthen Manipur as a State where every child feels safe, every woman feels empowered, every community feels included, and every citizen moves ahead towards a brighter future.
