Imphal, November 18 2023:
The Constitution will soon be published in the Meetei-Mayek script, Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh announced on Saturday while hailing the 'historic move' .
"This landmark achievement not only promotes the Manipuri script but also gives the speakers of Manipuri language or Meiteilon a door to the Indian Constitution," the CM said on X .
The CM added that despite 73 years of coming into effect of the Constitution of India, many of its tenets remained outside the sphere of knowledge for the common man, largely because of its non-availability in the local language.
"The publication along with amendments up to the 105th Amendment this time, is therefore, very significant, as well as special, being in the Meetei Mayek," he said, adding, "The document in this edition will definitely become an invaluable asset for the State and it publication an important landmark in the history of Manipur" .
