Recommissioned Imphal ISBT to boost connectivity and commerce

The governor of Manipur, Ajay Kumar Bhalla, said this will help connect Manipur better with the rest of the country.
The ISBT was first opened in 2011 but didn't work well for a long time.
Now, it has been fixed up and will help people travel more easily and safely.
The governor also said that the government will keep improving the ISBT to make it even better in the future.
He even started 12 new bus routes from the ISBT to different parts of Manipur.
