CM N Biren stated that the State is moving fast on the path of development under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The development works taken up in various sectors by the State Government are for the sake of our future generations, he added. The Chief Minister was addressing the gathering at the flag-off program for the improvement of Imphal Kohima road Package–IV (B) and Imphal Kohima Package-V (A) Road of National Highway-02 held at Kalapahar, Kangpokpi district.
