Agartala, June 29, 2023: The prominent leader of the All India Congress Committee Rahul Gandhi, arrived in Imphal, Manipur, on Thursday as part of his two-day visit to the violence-affected state. Sources indicate that Gandhi will proceed towards Churachandpur, where he is scheduled to meet representatives of civil society organizations and victims of the recent violence.

Rahul Gandhi’s visit holds significance as the Congress party has been critical of the government’s perceived inability to effectively address the law and order situation in Manipur.
