REGISTERING ON ARRIVAL IN MANIPUR On arrival at Imphal airport all foreigners must register with the police bord maker stationed next to the luggage collection point. You must then register again with the CID at the main police bord maker station. In both cases it s a fairly painless affair (assuming your papers are in order).
