Imphal, April 08 2015 :
A public meeting held today at Sagolband Tera Moirang Hanuba community hall resolved to demand that the National Sports University be constructed at an undisputed area, Haraoching in Imphal West district.
The meeting was attended by members of Moirang Hanuba Youth Development Club, Western Students' Club, Langjing Achouba; Youth Progressive Club, Takyel; Youth Cultural and Welfare Organisation, Heinoubok and Cachar Road Athletic Union, Khamnam Leikai.
Although the State Govt decided to set up the Sports University at Yaithibi Loukon, no work progress has been seen so far due to disturbance caused by the locals over land acquisition.
On the other hand, locals of Koutruk, Senjam Khunou, Senjam Chirang and surrounding areas of Haraoching have offered land for the construction of the sports varsity.
As such, the delegates of the meeting decided to press the State Govt to construct the university at Haraoching.
They further decided to submit a memorandum to the CM in this regard.
The meeting was attended by member of Patsoi ZP and co-convener of Panchayat Cell, BJP Manipur, Thokchom Sumanta and social worker Salam Biren as the chief guest and president respectively.
Amongst others, the meeting was attended by general secretary of Koutruk Senjam Khunou Senjam Chirang Development Committee, Ningthoujam Aramsing, joint secretary of 44-Yaithibi Loukon Land Owners' Association, Md Najim and other leaders.
