Imphal, October 29 2026: An air-conditioned hall with capacity for 800 people will be constructed at Khongman, the centre of Thongju Assembly Constituency, MLA Thongam Biswajit Singh announced.

He was speaking as chief guest at the 4th Annual General Body Meeting of Thongju Apunba Women Multipurpose Co-operative Society Ltd held today at Kakwa Lamdaibung Lampak under Manipur State Rural Livelihoods Mission (MSRLM).

Biswajit said his aim is to make Thongju an Assembly Constituency where every family is financially strong and envied by others.

Noting that Thongju has 1,068 Lakhpati Didis and is among constituencies with highest number of CLFs in Manipur, he said this is a matter of pride.

He urged SHGs and CLFs to be active, manage bank loans properly and repay on time, stating that timely repayment leads to bigger loans.

He advised SHGs to maintain good discipline and good relations with banks and to produce quality products for markets outside Manipur with StartUp support.

He called for keeping aside political differences for development and said he will provide financial help to successful SHGs and VLF.

The function was presided over by NK Bimola, President of the Society, while Deputy Commissioner, Imphal East, Dr Nivedita Lairenlakpam attended as guest of honour.
