Officials informed that until the permanent infrastructure is completed, academic sessions are currently functioning from the Model Residential School at Heirok Part-II.

The Chief Minister also assessed the ongoing renovation and upgrading works at the local Primary Health Centre, where phased development is underway to strengthen healthcare services, improve medical infrastructure, and ensure better public healthcare access for residents, including round-the-clock facilities.

Apart from education and healthcare projects, Khemchand Singh also inspected civic infrastructure and market development initiatives under the Heirok Municipal Council. The projects focus on improving market accessibility, approach roads, sanitation, and solid waste management systems in the area.

The Chief Minister stated that necessary directions have been issued to the concerned departments to ensure timely completion of the projects and better coordination in public service delivery.

He reiterated that the Manipur government remains committed to strengthening infrastructure and improving essential public services across the state through continuous monitoring and ground-level inspections.
