Prime Minister Narendra Modi was Friday conferred with 'The Order of the Republic of Trinidad & Tobago,' the highest national award of the Caribbean nation.

Preparations are on for the likely visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to trouble-torn Manipur, sources said. A top BJP functionary in Imphal told The Statesman that no date has been fixed, but the Prime Minister is expected to visit the state, and groundwork for the trip is already underway.

While no official confirmation has been made, heightened security arrangements and the sudden acceleration of infrastructure projects suggest that a high-level visit is being planned.

If it materialises, this would be Mr Modi's first visit to the violence-hit state since 22 February 2022—more than a year before ethnic clashes broke out in May 2023. The prolonged violence has claimed at least 260 lives and displaced around 50,000 people.
