Bishnupur, December 17 2015:
The Joint Committee of Tiddim Moirang, Bishnupur, Churachandpur, Manipur staged a sit-in-protest against naming Thangjing range as Thangting at Ibudhou Thmigjirig Laithel Terakhongshangbi today.
Committee convenor Sagolsem Kulla said that today's demonstration marked the opening of a series of sit-in-protests to be staged on the issue at different temple complexes of Meitei deities.
Since pre-historic time, Ibudhou Thangjing has been associated with Thangjing range, he said.
However, on August 25, 2014, the State Government announced to create Thangting sub-division at Thangjing range, he said.
Saying that the committee welcomes creation of a new subdivision, Kulla said that they would however oppose naming Thangjing as Thangting.
As such, the committee would intensify the stir if the Government fails to revoke its decision, he said.
