Imphal, October 23 2026:
The Uripok Apunba Nupi Lup (UNAL) has announced a ban on opening coffee shops and shops selling intoxicants after 7 pm in areas under its jurisdiction.
Speaking to media persons at Uripok Sorbon Thingel today, Lup general secretary Chongtham Ongbi Ibetombi said Arambai Tenggol had already declared that selling intoxicants in the name of coffee shops will not be allowed in the present situation of Manipur, and UNAL supports the stand.
As part of the drive, UNAL has announced that coffee shops and shops selling intoxicants in Uripok areas shall not remain open beyond 7 pm .
She further appealed that no politics should be done in the name of Meira Shang during the upcoming General Election, and women should not play 'housie', ludo or gamble at Meira Shangs.
When the Meira is lit, mothers should discuss how to protect their children and how to face the various incidents and unrest happening in Manipur, she said.
She also appealed to the people to stay away from those who try to buy votes by distributing money during the coming election and to support only those who can sacrifice for the motherland.
