Imphal, December 19 2014 :
The Indigenous People's Association of Kangleipak has called the attention of Deputy Chief Minister of Manipur to check the increasing conduct of 'Housie' which has become a popular game in Manipur in recent times.
According to the Association, "though the respective Deputy Commissioners of all the districts notified prohibition of this game in their jurisdictions earlier, some individuals who organize these games to reap easy money often bribed the police who would later support them in the process" .
In this connection, the Association appealed to all concerned that only clubs or organizations with a genuine purpose to serve a social undertaking should be allowed to conduct the game in future with permission from DCs.
