Bishnupur, January 31 2023:
Maintaining that a society which has forgotten its roots is a society on the verge of extinction, Moirang MLA Thongam Shanti has stressed the need to identify historical places and protect them for the sake of future generations.
MLA Shanti led an inspection team to Torbung Lamthabung area in Moirang which is considered as an important historical site.
Torbung Lamthabung is a place mentioned in the mythology associated with the ancient kingdom of Kege Moirang, where Khamba and Nongban started a race.
The MLA was accompanied by members of civil societies, clubs and associations of Torbung and Phougakchao.
The inspection team was shocked to find some portion of land sold off and occupied by certain individuals.
Expressing discontentment over the existing situation, MLA Shanti informed that the inspection visit has been done to save the historical places of the state and to provide protection to Torbung Lamthabung through government's intervention.
