Valte was attacked by a mob in the state capital Imphal on May 4, 2023, the second day of the violence that erupted between Meiteis and Kuki-Zo tribals.
Bhagwat will interact with citizens, entrepreneurs, and representatives of the tribal community. This will be his first visit since the violence broke out two years ago.
Though the violence appears on the surface to fall across ethnic and religious lines, experts say the root causes lie in poor land management and policing in rural areas.
The violence left over 250 people dead and displaced around 60,000 others. A large number of the displaced remain in relief camps, as the state continues to be ethnically divided.
