Imphal, May 15, 2013:
A two-day handloom and handicraft exhibition and cultural meet for peace and harmony organised by Sadar Hills Autonomous District Council under the sponsorship of Directorate of Commerce and Industries has kick started at Thomas Ground, Kangpokpi today.
Sadar Hills ADC Chairman Haokholal Hangshing, Kangpokpi ADC Thangboi and Kangpokpi Town Committee Chairman Chonkam Kipgen were the chief guest, guest of honour and president of the opening function respectively.
Speaking at the occasion, Haokholal Hangshing expressed hope that the exhibition would provide as a platform to showcase the handloom and handicraft products of the area to the outside world.
Apart from making handloom and handicraft products for their own, people of the area must now try to market these products to other places.
