Imphal, February 05 2023:
All Manipur Brahmin Organisation has announced a reward of Rs 1 lakh to any one who can provide information regarding vandalising of a temple at Brahmapur Guruaribam Leikai recently.
Addressing a press meet at Manipur Press Club, here, on Sunday, Organisation's spokesperson B Shyamananda strongly condemned vandalising of the temple which is a protected monument under the Manipur Ancient and Historical Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1976, on the intervening night of February 2 and 3 .
The organisation takes this as a direct attack on people of the state who follow Hinduism.
Hence, the government especially the chief minister who is also in-charge of Home Department must hand out severe punishment to culprit(s) involved in the act of vandalism, he demanded.
Shyamananda announced that Rs 1 lakh will be rewarded to whoever can provide information that would help in identifying and arresting those involved in desecrating the religious place.
