The third day of the "Puthiba Laiharaoba Utsav (A Traditional Ritual of Manipur) 2022-23" was held yesterday at Abhoynagar Puthiba Mandir, Agartala, Tripura.

He urged the scattered Meetei community in Tripura to work hard in the fields of sports, culture etc and bring laurels for their community and State but appealed to them to never forget their motherland and their own culture and way of life.
Stating that UCM has always played a big role in promoting art and culture, he urged individuals from Tripura interested in Manipuri art and culture to come to Manipur where UCM will ensure their learning free of cost.
He added that in case of inconveniences in travelling, UCM will make an effort to send expert teachers to Tripura to educate them on the matter.
In support of the ongoing Puthiba Lai Haraoba Utsav, UCM also handed over Rs 5000 to Puthiba.
