✦AI Summary
The Indian government has set a December 2026 deadline to upgrade National Highway-37 in Manipur to an all-weather road. This project is strategically vital for the region, providing a safer alternative to NH-2 and supporting India's 'Act East' policy for connectivity with Southeast Asia.
In peacetime, Manipur prefers to travel or transport goods on National Highway-2, a lifeline that connects its capital Imphal to the rest of the country through Nagaland to the north.
