Imphal, March 17, 2026 — Retired Indian Revenue Service officer Kachui Timothy Zimik has urged the Manipur government to adopt a more inclusive, balanced approach to economic development for the state’s hill and valley regions. In a 36‑page memorandum submitted to Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh and the Governor of Manipur, Zimik called for policies that address regional disparities and promote equitable access to resources and opportunities across the state.
A former Principal Chief Commissioner of Income Tax in the Ministry of Finance, Zimik framed his appeal in technical and administrative terms, outlining a set of recommendations intended to guide planning and resource allocation. The memorandum, he says, aims to ensure that infrastructure, public services and livelihood initiatives reach both hill and valley communities in a way that reflects their different needs and potentials.
The submission highlights the need for targeted interventions rather than one‑size‑fits‑all solutions, arguing that balanced development will strengthen economic resilience and social cohesion. While the memorandum’s full text details specific proposals, its central message is clear: development planning should be inclusive, data‑driven and sensitive to local geography and community priorities.
By formally presenting his recommendations to the state’s highest executive offices, Zimik has added a senior bureaucratic voice to the conversation on Manipur’s development strategy. His appeal-grounded in administrative experience-seeks to influence policymaking so that growth benefits all regions and communities across the state.
