Imphal, July 22 2022:
Hockey Manipur is set to resume its activities after a long halt of 12 years, said secretary of Hockey Manipur Th Manihar.
He made the statement during a press conference held this afternoon at Khuman Lampak Hockey Statement.
Manipur Hockey which was formed by merging Manipur Hockey Association and Manipur Women's Hockey Association, will be resuming its activity after 12 years following a dispute over who should be the controlling body of Hockey in the State, he said.
The decision to resume the association's activities came in the wake of an order issued by the High Court of Manipur on July 20 in connection with
the dispute, he said.
It is very unfortunate that Hockey Manipur, which has been engaging the affairs of hockey and its promotion in the State, had to put its activities on hold due to sudden emergence of a parallel association, he said.
Praying that such impasse may not arise in the future, he also expressed gratitude to the High Court of Manipur for considering the association's plea and the landmark order issued on July 20 .
The media event was also attended by founder secretary of Manipur Hockey Association which was established in 1976, S Lokeshwar; a member of Manipur Women's Hockey Association, Jamuna and other key members of Hockey Manipur.
