Imphal, October 26 2022:
Social and cultural activist RK Meghen has extended his heartiest greetings to the people of Manipur on the auspicious occasion of Ningol Chakkouba festival, which is to be celebrated on Thursday.
Extending his Chakkouba message to the people, Meghen said that it is unrelated with any religion and is being celebrated by other indigenous communities of Manipur apart from the Meetei community nowadays.
He said that the widespread celebration of Ningol Chakkouba will help in developing a national culture for Manipur and called upon all the indigenous people of Manipur to promote other indigenous big festivals like Lui-Ngai-Ni of the Naga and Chavang Kut of the Kuki as common festival of Manipur as these festivals will help in promoting national culture.
He then appealed to people to celebrate the festival in its truest form of love and understanding among siblings by putting a stop to the race for presenting costly gifts.
