Manipur Seeks Aviation Ministry Intervention on Soaring Airfares to Imphal

Imagine the cost of getting to your city has become super high, like a toy costing five times as much as it should!

That's what's happening in Manipur, a state in India.

Their government is telling the airplane bosses that the tickets to fly to and from their main city, Imphal, are way too expensive.

They say it's much more costly than flying to other nearby places.

The government also noticed that some airlines have sent away planes, and one airline even stopped flying important routes.

So, Manipur's government is asking for help to make tickets cheaper and bring back more planes.

They also want to start flights to another country, Thailand, and get more helicopters to fly people to different towns inside Manipur.

They even asked to change the airport's name to honor a local hero.
