Speaking at the occasion, Imphal Hmar Sikpui Roui 2022 Chairman , Lalbuotsai Zote said that the Sikpui Ruoi, one of the most significant festivals of the Hmar community has been celebrated since time immemorial.
However the same could not be celebrated over the past two years due to COVID-19 pandemic.
