Union Home Minister Amit Shah has cancelled his two-visit to Manipur, state government sources have told NDTV. According to sources, the Manipur government was informed by the Centre that the Home Minister won’t be visiting the state. However, no reasons have been cited by the Centre behind the cancellation of the trip. Mr Shah was supposed to visit the state and inaugurate multiple projects, which he later inaugurated virtually.
Mr Shah has cancelled a few programmes in the last few days, BJP sources said, and added he also couldn’t meet some Tamil Nadu MPs who were camping in Delhi for nine days.
The Union Minister laid foundation stones of 29 development projects worth ₹ 2,450 crore through a video-conference.
“Inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of various development projects worth ₹ 2,450 Crore in Manipur. These development projects reiterate our govt’s resolve towards the welfare of the people of Manipur,” Mr Shah said in a tweet.
