IMPHAL: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Chief Mohan Bhagwat arrived here on a three-day visit to Manipur on Thursday, his first since ethnic hostility broke out in the state in May 2023.
A state RSS functionary said that RSS Chief Bhagwat's visit to Manipur is part of the country wide centenary celebrations of the RSS.
He added that a warm reception was accorded to the septuagenarian leader at the Imphal airport after he arrived here after a four-day visit to Assam.
From the airport, RSS Chief Bhagwat went to the RSS centre Bhaskara Prabha at Kongjeng Leikai in Imphal East district.
According to the state functionary, during RSS Chief's three-day (November 20-22) stay in Imphal, he will hold a series of closed-door interactions with the karyakartas and members of the organisation.
RSS Chief Bhagwat will also interact with entrepreneurs, representatives of the tribal communities and civil society organisations from the Manipur valley and hill regions, prominent citizens and leaders of youth organisations in the state.
Amid the ongoing efforts to form a new government in Manipur, the RSS Chief's visit will add a new dimension in the Northeastern state.
