Imphal, July 16 2021:
The Huyel Langlon Thang-Ta Association Manipur (HLTAM) has appealed to the State Government to recruit Thang-Ta players who hold certificates for their performances in State, National and International level events to the posts of Manipur Police Constables.
In a letter addressed to the Chief Minister, HLTAM referred the recent advertisement inviting application from eligible candidates for the posts of 'Manipur Police Constable' and put forth that many talented youth who have brought laurels to the State from many National, Continental and International level Thang-Ta championships in the last several years are unemployed.
HLTAM had also requested the State Government for listing Thang-Ta in the list of games and sports for consideration for appointment to any job of Manipur Government, HLTAM said.
HLTAM also noted the Chief Minister's initiative to promote indigenous martial arts and the recent organisation of the 1st Chief Minister's Martial Art (Thang-Ta/Cheibi) Meet-2019 and stated that it is imperative for the State Government to take measures to preserve and develop the art.
Praying for the Chief Minister to recruit the meritorious Thang-Ta players for the post of the police constables, HLTAM also expressed hope of receiving positive response from the Chief Minister who is keenly interested in promoting indigenous martial arts.
