Imphal, October 25 2017:
Lambui village located within Ukhrul district has reverted to its original name Ramva .
The State Government issued a gazette notification in this regard on October 7, 2015, according to a press release by the Thinkers' Forum, Ramva president L Luingam .
Lambui is a corrupted form of Ramva and a misnomer.
The Britishers mispronounced it in the past, it said .
The original name of the village is Ramva which has historical backgrounds and folklore handed down through generations .
Though the original and official name of the village is Ramva, many people still call it Lambui.
It is rather absurd that a village is known by two names which is also causing many problems even at the time of issuing academic certificates to students, it said .
It further appealed to all the people including Government authorities to use the village name as Ramva, not Lambui.
