Imphal, December 08 2021:
Maichou Ningshing Lup Khurai advisor Sanasam Ibomcha has urged the government to stop its plan of constructing government quarters by Planning and Development Authority (PDA) at Langol by removing the ancient shrine of Ema Langon.
Addressing a press meet convened jointly by Umanglai Kanba Lup (UKAL) and other religious organisations at Manipur Press Club here on Tuesday, S Ibomcha stated that though they welcome construction of quarters of government employees, but they cannot accept any encroachment on the ancient Ema Langon shrine.
Hence, the government must abandon its plan to construct quarters at the site of the shrine.
If the government ignores humble suggestions, then the organisations are ready to launch protest against the government, he asserted.
Ibomcha further appealed to the various CSOs of the state to extend their support in stopping the construction of quarters on the land of the shrine.
