Bpr, January 24 2022:
Several Moirang based civil society organisations, Meira Paibi groups and clubs have strongly opposed government's attempt to take over the guest house at the historic Omba-Nurathel and hand it over to a private party on PPP model.
Organisations which opposed the government's move include Kege Moirang Kendra Apuba Lup, Moirang branch of International Peace and Social Advancement (IPSA), All Moirang Bazar Apunba Shinmi Lup, Historical Heritage Development Organisation, Moirang Kendra Apunba Meira Paibi Ima Lup, All Moirang Keithel Phambi Ima Lup and various clubs of Moirang area.
According to a joint statement of the organisations, Moirang Municipal Council has been developing Omba-Nurathel since a long time back and council had taken a resolution on September 7, 2020 that no institution shall take over any part of the historic site and prior consent should be taken from Moirang-based organisations in case of even partial takeover of the historic site.
