The Khongsang station was commissioned in 2022 under the Jiribam-Imphal new line project, but was yet to become operational. The line was suspended after violence erupted in the state on May 3. During his visit to Manipur on June 1, Union home minister Amit Shah had said a temporary railway station at Khongsang would be made operational.
Northeast Frontier Railway’s CPRO Sabyasachi De said: “NFR has allowed piecemeal re-booking of wagons as a special case… A marketing inspector has been specially deputed in Imphal for the convenience of Manipur-based traders to make bookings.”
