Imphal, May 14 2013:
Considering the historical importance of the hall, where a number of ordinances had been passed and various development programmes of the State discussed, the Government of Manipur has decided to preserve and protect the hall in the Old Manipur Assembly building Hall.
According to reports reaching Hueiyen Lanpao, following the shifting of Manipur State Assembly at its new complex in Chingmeirong where subsequent sittings of the House are being conducted, the matter related to preservation and protection of the old Assembly hall has been mooted during the course of discussion on transferring the office of which department to occupy the vacant old Assembly complex.
Earlier, the State Government had decided to shift the office of the Imphal Municipal Council (IMC) in the complex of old Assembly and to dismantle the office of IMC for constructing a big public parking area there.

But considering its historical importance, it has now been decided in favour of preserving and protecting the old Manipur Assembly Hall as a cultural heritage of the State.
The issue of preserving and protecting the hall of old State Assembly has been even brought up for discussion in the last State Cabinet meeting.
However, the Cabinet has not yet taken any definite decision in this regard.
Nonetheless, it was agreed to bring up the issue in the next Cabinet meeting for further discussion and necessary action. Meanwhile, there are reports that other buildings inside the Assembly complex may be occupied by staffs of Rural Development & Panchayat Raj as well as MAHUD.
