Imphal, February 17 2020:
The Mami Thawan Foundation has taken up initiatives to adopt Manipur ponies in an event "Ekhoigi Pony" held at Ibudhou Marjing Complex, Heingang today.
The event was attended by ISTV president P Prafullo as chief guest.
Mami Thawan Foundation Chairman Romi Meitei expressing his concern said that although the sport of Polo was introduced by Manipur, it is a pity the ponies of the land are left loose in the streets to fend for themselves.
They often consume hazardous elements like plastics or are killed in road accidents or other untoward incidents.
This has led to a drastic decline in the number of ponies.
The event is held to encourage public to adopt ponies and save them, he added.
