We will apprehend those responsible, they have no place to run&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing a gathering in Langthabal constituency in Imphal West district after inaugurating five infrastructure projects, the Chief Minister placed the incident in context. He noted that Manipur had been under President\u2019s Rule since February 13, 2025, following the resignation of former Chief Minister N Biren Singh amid prolonged ethnic violence that began on May 3, 2023. President\u2019s Rule was revoked on February 4, 2026, paving the way for the formation of a new government led by Singh, due to demand of forming a popular government from the general public.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After a consistent demand for the revocation of President&#8217;s Rule and installation of a popular government through the voices of the public, I became the Chief Minister (I did not lobby for the post nor did I know that I would be the one for the post),&#8221; said the Chief Minister.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 848px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-25093-1\" width=\"848\" height=\"478\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/thefrontiermanipur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WhatsApp-Video-2026-04-29-at-6.22.26-PM.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/thefrontiermanipur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WhatsApp-Video-2026-04-29-at-6.22.26-PM.mp4\">https:\/\/thefrontiermanipur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/WhatsApp-Video-2026-04-29-at-6.22.26-PM.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>On the occasion, Khemchand also emphasized that peace remains the foremost requirement for development. The projects included three water supply schemes and two community halls. He added that since assuming office, his focus has been on initiating a &#8220;journey for peace&#8221; aimed at rebuilding trust and harmony among communities.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past two months and twenty days, Singh said he has engaged extensively with MLAs, officials, and civil society groups, while also visiting both hill and valley districts\u2014including Jiribam, Senapati, Kangpokpi, and Ukhrul\u2014to understand public grievances and promote reconciliation. He pointed out that the Tronglaobi blast occurred shortly after his visit to Jiribam, calling it an &#8220;unfortunate&#8221; attempt to derail the fragile peace process.<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting public sentiment, Singh said people across communities have expressed a strong desire for peace and stability. He urged citizens to remain united and vigilant against elements seeking to create division.<\/p>\n<p>Reaffirming the government\u2019s commitment, Singh said development initiatives would continue across all regions, including remote areas, despite ongoing challenges, and called for collective cooperation to build a peaceful and progressive Manipur.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/thefrontiermanipur.com\/cm-links-tronglaobi-killings-to-elements-keen-on-derailing-peace-efforts-calls-for-unity\/\">CM Links Tronglaobi Killings to Elements Keen on Derailing Peace Efforts, Calls for Unity<\/a> first appeared on <a href=\"https:\/\/thefrontiermanipur.com\/\">The Frontier Manipur<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\">Read more \/ Original news source: <a href=\"https:\/\/thefrontiermanipur.com\/cm-links-tronglaobi-killings-to-elements-keen-on-derailing-peace-efforts-calls-for-unity\/\">https:\/\/thefrontiermanipur.com\/cm-links-tronglaobi-killings-to-elements-keen-on-derailing-peace-efforts-calls-for-unity\/<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" src=\"https:\/\/thefrontiermanipur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Yumnam-Khemchand_1.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p>Highlighting public sentiment, Yumnam Khemchand said people across communities have expressed a strong desire for peace and stability.
