Bishnupur, January 29 2023:
While stating that the government alone cannot help maintain a clean and green Manipur, Rural Development & Panchayati Raj minister Y Khemchand said that the people also have an important role to play in this regard.
He made the statement on Sunday on the sidelines of inspecting certain locations and facilities, which could attract the delegates who would be visiting the state to attend the G20 summit.
Khemchand urged the people not to dump garbage on the sides of the road from Imphal to Churachandpur along NH 150 and further appealed to the Gram Panchayat, Gram Sabha and municipal councils to maintain cleanliness in their respective areas, so as to show a clean image of Manipur in front of the international and national delegates, thereby helping to invite various opportunities for the state.
The minister inspected the Sangai Ethnic Park in Moirangkhunou; INA Headquarters, INA Martyrs' Complex and INA War Museum at Moirang; Loktak inland water ways of LDA at Sendra and Sendra hill in Bishnupur district; Chaoba Ching in Thanga and Omba Nurathel Garden in Takmu Pat.
He was accompanied by Water Resources minister Awangbow Newmai, Education minister Th Basanta Kumar, MSPDCL chairman and Thanga AC MLA T Robindro, Moirang MLA Thongam Shanti, Kumbi MLA S Premchandra Meitei, LDA chairman M Asnikumar and other office bearers of BJP.
The state G20 Committee has also issued instructions for completion of the repair works at Sangai Ethnic Park and INA Headquarters at the earliest.
Mention may be made here that some programmes of G-20 summit being hosted by India this year will be held in Manipur and many foreign delegates are likely to visit the state for the summit in February.
