Built to international standards, the arena is expected to provide a professional platform for budding Wushu athletes in the region.

"Wushu, a traditional martial art, has gained significant popularity in India, particularly in Manipur, known for producing talented athletes in various sports," the release added.

Additionally, on November 29 and 30, the Indian Army, in collaboration with district medical authorities, organized medical camps in villages across Bishnupur and Churachandpur districts.
