Manipur received its first Railway station

The above video is the arrival of the first train in the state of Manipur during July 2021, 73 years after the independence of the country. 

It is nothing less than a festival for Manipur state when the first-ever train touched the land of Manipur. It is interesting to note that the entire northeast has remained in news for one reason or another for the last 70 years or so. But the only difference in the last 8 years is that the news has shifted from negative to positive news. 

Previously, we use to hear negative news every now and then from North-East states like Maoist attacks, kidnapping, illegal intrusions, Cow smuggling, etc. But of late, since Modi Government has taken charge of our great country India, we have noticed a great shift in the trend that started flowing in from these states. 

Entire Northeast states which probably was taken for granted previously were subjected to undergo a sort of step-motherly treatment, neglected in all angles. But it is very pleasing to hear good overwhelming news one after another from the region since the Modi government has come to power at the Centre. 

Whether it is the strengthening of borders of Arunachal Pradesh, or whether it is the matter of developing huge infrastructures at the border region which were neglected for decades, or whether implementation of Nation friendly neutral laws to check the nuisance, or whether about the initiatives towards implementing of NRC and CAA and lot many more. 

Assam CM has won the hearts of many by proving his intention and determination to "call the spade a spade". The credit for Assam's implementation of bold decisions should go to Yogi Adityanath Ji. Every CMs have learned or is in the process of learning how a CM can perform through pro-citizen as well as anti-criminal agendas from Yogi Ji. Of late a few glimpse of positive bold decision has reflected from MP CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan also. 

Let us hope, better late than never, let our great country gallop towards a greater future with all the mettle, strength, and peace to become a prosperous developed country for which our northeast states too has to play a huge role standing shoulder to shoulder along with rest of the states of our country.
