Imphal, October 18 2026: Khurai AC MLA L Susindro Meitei has initiated work for construction of Lamyanba Hijam Irabot's Mausoleum Memorial Park at Taungbo-Sedaw, Upper Chindwin District, Sagaing State, Myanmar, where the leader breathed his last.

As per his assurance, Susindro visited Myanmar to start the work.

A six-member Construction Committee headed by him as convenor was formed at Hotel Mingalar, Mandalay.

The members are Namin Ngangom from Tamwe Yangon, Gopal Naorem and Gogaw Sagolshem from Thitsheint Kone, Taungbaw, Gourashyam Hajirika and Hilar Devi from 88/30 C Mandalay.

Speaking to the media, Susindro said the resting place is a mineral-rich area but has been neglected for long and eroded by river, and the exact cremation spot is no longer traceable.

The park will be developed once land settlement issues are resolved.

A local sculptor has been commissioned to sculpt a statue of Lamyanba Irabot, which is expected to be completed in three months.

An estimated Rs 15 lakh will be incurred for construction and transportation of materials via waterways.

During the tour, the MLA also offered prayers at Ibudhou Pakhangba shrine at Tadale, Amarapura Township, Mandalay Division and assured Meiteis there to renovate the shrine in a timely manner.

He also attended the 228th death anniversary observance of Rajshri Bhagyachandra organised by Rajarshi Bhagyachandra Cultural Foundation, Manipur at Mandalay and extended financial aid for renovating shrines and mandaps in Myanmar.
