Imphal, October 09 2016:
Chavang Kut Celebration Committee 2016 has today announced that Chavang Kut festival will be celebrated for three consecutive days beginning October 30 at Peace Ground, Tuibuong.
The festival will be celebrated under the theme "Bigger, Better, and Stronger".
The committee said that the event will be planned in such a way that the increasing Kuki-Manasseh tribe has a fair and equal chance to showcase their cultural heritage.
From 14 tribes in 2014, the number of the rediscovered groups has been increased to 48 in 2015 and this year the number of the long parted tribes has risen to 71 .
This year's celebration will be marked by thanksgiving offering to the Almighty and unveiling of the historic monument to commemorate the re-union of the Kuki-Manasseh brethren.
The committee also appealed to all the organisations and groups not to call bandh or blockades during the festival.
