Structures Erected to Greet Modi Pulled Down in Manipur’s Churachandpur
Unidentified individuals vandalized decorations in Churachandpur ahead of Prime Minister Modi's visit, prompting increased security and a ban on air guns to maintain order, officials said.
- Miscreants pulled down decorative structures in Manipur's Churachandpur on September 11, 2025, ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's scheduled visit on September 13.
- The incident occurred amid ethnic tensions rooted in clashes between Kuki-Zo and Meitei communities since May 2023, which have killed over 260 and displaced 59,000 people.
- Groups armed with sticks forcibly removed the decorations near the PM’s helipad route, leading to clashes with police and minor damage that security officials later controlled.
- Security forces intensified drills and frisking in key areas, arrested three militants in recent days, and plan to deploy around 10,000 personnel during Modi's visit, who will inaugurate projects worth ₹8,500 crore.
- The disruptions and resignations within local BJP ranks highlight ongoing political and social divisions, indicating challenges in ensuring calm and unity during the Prime Minister's first visit since the ethnic violence began.
