Eengba Mangang Yumnamcha, Hongnemsumbam Laiching Nganba (Chandrakala), Elangbam Mitngamba (Netrajit), Wakhal Lamjingba (Bidyapati Senjam), Salam Chaoba and N Likkhombi were also appointed as General Secretaries of the organization while Sukham Marutombi mangang, Irengbam Lukhoi and Elangbam Ibohal as Advisors.
Delivering the key note address of the joint meeting, Elangbam Netrajit, Co-convenor of Kanglei Khunthokyai Apunba Luplen pointed out that Manipur was an independent kingdom in the past having its own culture, tradition and religion.
However, after the people of Manipur, mainly the Meeteis in the valley were forced to follow Hinduism by the then King Pamheiba, the people of the hills and the plains began to be divided on certain flimsy grounds and the distance between them grew larger day by day.
He further stated that to bring back the lost love which used to exist among the people of the hills and the plains, the meeting has been organized to discuss and find out ways and means of bridging the gap between the two brothers.
