Following a period of crisis and road blockades in Manipur, the state government initiated steps to restore connectivity. In early August, authorities announced the immediate reopening of National Highways to all communities and the resumption of the Imphal-Dimapur bus service to alleviate hardships in trade, healthcare, and essential supplies. By late August, public transport services on the Imphal–Dimapur–Guwahati route officially resumed after a nearly three-year hiatus. On the first day of service, 125 passengers traveled via two buses and five wingers. As these inter-state bus services between Manipur, Nagaland, and Assam entered their third consecutive day of regular operation, security forces and administrative interventions have worked to ensure safe movement via National Highway-2, despite local tensions in Senapati District.
