Minister of State for Defence, Sanjay Seth, paid a visit to Manipur’s Kamjong district, where he was warmly received by Deputy Commissioner Rangnamai Rang Peter (IAS) and MLA of 44-Phungyar constituency, Leishiyo Keishing.

As part of the visit, the Union Minister held a meeting with District Level Officers (DLOs), during which he was briefed on the current status and functioning of various government departments operating in the district.

An interaction programme was also organised with members of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) in the presence of the Deputy Commissioner, showcasing grassroots development initiatives and local entrepreneurship.

Significantly, the District Administration submitted a proposal for the development of a model town at K Ashang Khullen Aze (KAKA).
