Regular bus service from Manipur to Myanmar
Imphal, July 21: To promote tourism and bilateral ties between India and Myanmar, a regular bus service between Moreh in Manipur to Mandalay in that country will be started soon, Transport Minister L. Jayantakumar said here today.
Efforts were being made for the last few years to improve ties between the two countries and start a new bus service, he said.
Officials would be holding a meeting here on July 23 in this regard, the minister added.
''It will be convenient for the people of Myanmar to visit various Buddhist circuits via Manipur considering the cost-effectiveness and the time,'' officials said.
Besides, tour operators would be needed to arrange the visits of Myanmar tourists to various Buddhist religious places.
