Imphal, November 02 2014:
A joint meeting of 32 clubs of three assembly constituencies of Thoubal district convened today at Tekcham High School has appealed to all concerned to call off the proposed 48-hour Thoubal district bandh called on November 5 and 6 in connection with the construction of a Sports University at Yaithibi Chingjin.
According to a press statement of the 32 clubs issued by L Kulladhaja, the site for the construction of the Sports University was recently announced by Chief Minister Okram Ibobi during a function held at Kakching.
The Sports University is to be constructed under the funding of the Central Government, but some people are trying to politicize the matter either by favouring or opposing construction of the Sports University in their respective areas.
The site chosen by the State Government is almost perfect from the security point of view.
The 32 clubs of Thoubal district would launch counter-bandh and face any eventuality if any individual or organization is obstructing the construction work of the Sports University, it asserted.
