Bishnupur, March 02 2020:
Apunba Nupi Lup (ANUL) Bishnupur has resolved to take up action against one and all who raised money for Yaoshang from commuters before the festival by blocking road in Bishnupur district and those who organise or take part in the untraditional way of Thabal Chongba.
Speaking to media persons during a press meet held at the office of ANUL, Lup Vice-president Nepram Bimola said that the lup does not restrict raising fund for Yaoshang during the festival (March 9 to 13) by joining hands or simply holding a rope to block the road as it is a part of the festival.
Expressing strong objection to new styles of Thabal Chongba and yaoshang celebration invented by youngsters, She sought cooperation from clubs, civil organisation and Meira Paibi Lup in checking such issues.
ANUL general secretary, Mongjam Anita Devi, joint secretary, Yumnam Lata and office secretary Waikhom Lembi also attended the press meet.
On the other, Social Educational and Cultural Development Organisation, Thoubal Kshetri Leikai has appealed all concerned to organise Thabal Chongba under the areas covered by the organisation only during 5 days of Yaoshang and Cheiraoba festivals.
