To commemorate the 283rd year of the burning of the ancient Manipuri Scriptures, Puya Mei Thakhibagi Apunba Ningsing Lup (PUMANIL) will observe a month long Puwarigi Amumba Ningsing event.
Puya Mei Thakhibagi Apunba Ningsing Lup, an apex body of seven different lups including ACOAM lup, Manipur Pandit Loishang, Apokpa Marup, Kanglamei, CLK Kangleipak, KIL and Panthoibi Sindam Shanglen Wahengkhuman, had initiated the observance from October 18 at Samurou Naorem Leikai.
The lup will be holding the major commemorative event on October 29 at Khuman Lampak Indoor Stadium, PUMANIL convenor Chandramani Khumancha told media persons today.
Furthermore, the lup will also be organising debate and painting competitions on different dates at different places as part of the month long observance.
A play titled Nongkhrang Iruppa would also be staged on the last day of the observance at Chingamakha Leimayon Art Centre along with a painting competition, the convenor added.
PUMANIL has appealed the Kuki People's Liberation Front (KPLF) to call off its proposed economic blockade on National Highways in view of the ensuing major festivals of the State.
The lup has further appealed the masses to refrain from organising/observing any function/festival on October 29 .
