Manipur Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla was airlifted by an Army helicopter on Monday to bypass significant protests during his short journey from Imphal airport to Raj Bhawan, a distance of just six kilometers. The protests, organized by the Coordinating Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI), saw hundreds of protesters forming a human chain on Tiddim Road. They were opposing the removal of the state’s name from a government bus, a move that has stirred local sentiments. This rapid transport decision underscores the heightened tensions in the region. As events unfold, more details will be provided.
