Thoubal, May 10 2022:
Lok Sabha MP Dr Lorho S Pfoze has urged people to think beyond their own communities, stating that Manipur can gain the status of a 'Model State' when people are united.
The statement was made today by the Lok Sabha MP during the handing over ceremony of a sports ground constructed at Japhou under the Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme or MPLADS.
The event was attended by Dr Lorho S Pfoze, Mayanglambam Rajkumar Singh, IAS, Deputy Commissioner Chandel, Naorem Pritam Singh, SDO Chandel, Sh Manglem Monsang former ADC Member, Chandel and Ng Maipakngam, Chief, Japhou village as presidium members.
Speaking as the chief guest, Dr Lorho S Pfoze stated that despite being a small state, Manipur is inhabited by a slew of different ethnic communities and has great potential in the fields of education, tourism, sports, arts and culture.
He added that a village cannot simply be transformed into a model village through some schemes, projects or funds.
But this transformation would require the public to have a strong civic sense and be self-aware of their duties as responsible citizens.
He urged the people to work towards making Manipur a model state just as Japhou village had been declared as a model village.
M Rajkumar Singh also spoke at the gathering.
