Imphal, March 13 2015 :
Lairembi Sintha Lup has strongly appealed to the CM who is also holding charge of Arts & Culture, the Commissioner and Director, Arts & Culture to check the demolition of State Archives Building by the present Dy Director Md Abdul Kalam.
The Lup says that the building has all the ancient historic documentation such as Manipur's first gazette 'Kakching Etihas' and 'Nong- Lon Cheitharol' which had been donated by various private custodians for reference and knowledge of future generations.
Now with the demolition of the building, questions have arisen as to the whereabouts of these priceless records and how the public will access them, said a joint press release by the secretaries of Lairembi Sintha Lup, P.Memita and Maichou Ningshing Lup, Ahanthem Irabot.
