Imphal, October 11 2011:
Zeliangrong Union (AMN) today held a meeting with Zeliangrong Cultural Council Haomei Chapriak Pei including villages elders at Zeliangrong Building Kakhulong Imphal to discuss matters concerning the celebration of Gaan-Ngai Festival.
"The meeting decided to ban particular organising committee for tarnishing the image of the rich traditional festival of Zeliangrong and particularly the Zeliangrong people by organising Gaan-Ngai Festival in a mockery way.
They have neither public support nor competent authority to organise such a grand festival beyond the traditional practice," alleged a release of Zeliangrong Union (AMN) general secretary K.Poushinglung.
The meeting also decided to constitute a committee called "Gaan-Ngai Committee 2012 (ZU-AMN)" to celebrate the State level Gaan-Ngai 2012 in a grand way to expose the rich cultural and traditional festival of Zeliangrong to the outside world, it conveyed.
