Imphal, October 08 2010:
Government has failed to appoint members of the Lainingthou Temple Board for the last seven years.
This has caused problems in the maintenance of the temple, lamented president, Irengbam Luhkoi today.
Members of the temple board are appointed for every three years by the government under the Sanamahi Temple Act 1976.But after the last term of the board expired seven years back in 2003, government has failed to appoint new board members, he observed.

The government by not appointing board members for such a long time has neglected Sanamahi Temple, the president said charging the government is adopting a dual stance, one for the Sanamahi temple and another for that of the Govindaji Temple.
With Chief Minister himself as chairman of the Govindaji Temple Board, all efforts to develop the Govindaji Temple have been taken up.
They have developed infrastructure like toilets, halls and offices of the board to help maintain the temple.
But such infrastructure development does not take place at the Sanamahi Temple site.
Maibas, maibis, pena players and others were experiencing utmost problems in maintaining the temple, Lukhoi said.
The Sanamahi Temple is situated inside the 1st Manipur Rifles Complex and the government has given only 111x70 square feet of land for the temple whereas the government has allotted three acres of land for the Govindaji Temple.
Devotees have been pressing the state government to allot more land and also to develop infrastructure for the temple but government has remained deaf, Lukhoi lamented.
