Imphal, November 24 2019: Chief Minister N Biren Singh flagged off Manipur Sangai Run, organised as a part of Manipur Sangai Festival, at Khuman Lampak Sports Complex today.

Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister urged the public to fully participate in the annual tourism festival and not to trust any rumour which may create apprehension in the minds of the people.

Biren informed that he along with his Cabinet Ministers had a discussion with COCOMI representatives last night, adding that the State Government also decided to call the Winter Session of Manipur Legislative Assembly by December 20 .

The Chief Minister said that Union Home Minister Amit Shah, despite his busy schedules due to the ongoing Parliament session and political developments in Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh, gave appointment for meeting COCOMI leaders at 10 pm tomorrow, acknowledging the significance of the grievances and demands raised by the people of Manipur.

Stating that Manipur Sangai Festival is more than a festival but a pride for Manipur and also a platform to promote the identity of the State to the world, the Chief Minister said that many delegates from different countries are participating in the festival this year as well.

Observing that there is no State or country which does not have issues, the Chief Minister expressed firm belief that Manipur would triumph all the issues because the people, the State Government and the Central Government are equally concerned with these issues.

He also called for a collective effort to fight these issues instead of remaining divided and blaming one another.

Manipur Sangai Run, which was flagged off from Khuman Lampak, passed locations like North AOC, Khongnang Ani Karak, Thangmeiband, PWD, Nityaipat Chuthek, Sanjenthong, Palace Gate, Hatta, Telipati, Lamlong Bridge, Dinku Road and culminated at the starting point (Khuman Lampak) .
