Imphal, November 20 2019:
Kharam Thadoi village authority has decried the erection and inauguration of the statue of Chingu Maichou Kharam Thadoi at Kharam Pallen without informing Kharam Thadoi VA while warning against distortion of the history.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club today, chief of Kharam Thadoi VA said that the Chingu Maichou Kharam Thadoi was the important Maichou of Kharam Thadoi Village and without considering the people of the village, a statue of the Maichou was erected in Kharam Pallen and inaugurated under the banner of Kharam Union Manipur.
The statue was inaugurated by Art & Culture Minister on November 2, he said and added that the whole erection and inauguration of the Maichou's statue was done at the wrong place.
He continued that Chingu Maichou Kharam Thadoi belonged to Kharam Thadoi village and was not the Maichou of Kharam Pallen.
Construction and inaugurating a statue of Kharam Thadoi village's Maichou without informing or even considering its villagers was unfortunate, he asserted while adding that it has distorted the very history which is wrong and unacceptable.
Among the seven Maichous of Manipur, Chingu Maichou Kharam Thadoi was the 6th Maichou, he claimed.
