## Future Development
Churachandpur is experiencing a transition from a traditional hill town to a modernized urban center.
* **Infrastructure:** Upgrades to National Highway 150 (which connects Churachandpur to Imphal and Mizoram) are ongoing to improve trade and transit. * **Healthcare Expansion:** Following the inauguration of the Churachandpur Medical College, there are plans to expand the district hospital's capacity and introduce specialized care facilities. * **Border Trade:** The border village of Behiang (situated on the Indo-Myanmar border) has been earmarked for development as a border trade center under India's "Act East" policy, aiming to boost the local economy. * **Sports Facilities:** Given the region's passion for sports (and being the home district of Olympic medalist Mary Kom), the state government has been investing in the PT Sports Complex and local football infrastructure. * **Urban Planning:** The Autonomous District Council is working on better traffic management and expanding the capacity of the main markets (Zenhang Bazaar and New Bazaar).
