Imphal, November 08 2026: As part of an ongoing effort to reconnect with Meiteis living across the border, Ningol Chakouba will be celebrated on November 23 at Tetaigoan Mourubi Bazar in Bangladesh.

The festival, which honours the bond between brothers and sisters, will bring together the Meitei diaspora in Bangladesh for a day of reunion, cultural celebration, and shared prayer for peace and unity back home.

The programme will be jointly organised by Patriotic Writers ' Forum Manipur (PAWF), Manipuri Youth Forum Bangladesh and Manipuri Cultural Complex with the support of Khurai Assembly Constituency MLA L Susindro.

Speaking at a press meet held at Ipu Mikoi Shanglen, Khurai Tinsid Road, in connection with the programme, L Susindro said the festival is being organised every year with the aim of uniting Meiteis living in different parts of the world.

He said a team from Manipur will go to Bangladesh to make this year's programme successful, and all preparations are complete.

He appealed to Manipuri Ningols living in Bangladesh to pray for the restoration of peace in Manipur.

He expressed hope that Ningol Chakouba, a festival that spreads love and strengthens the bond between brothers, sisters and families, would help bring an end to the four-year-long conflict in Manipur.
