Imphal, November 01 2019:
Mao-Imphal Market Coordination Committee organised a Ningol Chakkouba event at Laishram Khullen Leikai Development Committee community hall, Naoremthong Laishram Leirak today.
As a part of the event, Ningols from Mao as well as Meitei Ningols were presented
with gifts.
Speaking on the sideline of the event, Chairman of Mao-Imphal Market Coordination Committee, Bessi Mao said that the event bringing together the women and mothers as well as Ningols, including Mao vendors, is indeed heart touching.
Ningol Chakkouba event is not normally organised in the hill areas and it is indeed heart touching to see the women of Mao being lovingly invited for such a meaningful event, Bessi Mao said.
Opining that organising such an event in the hills will only improve the loving bond
between the hills and the valley, the chairman urged for the festival to be organised if possible in the hill areas as well.
Convenor of the committee, Khuraijam Athouba said that the many of the valley based CSOs were concerned about the huge amount of produces
which must have gone to waste as the people from the hills could not sell them off enough due to various conditions and difficulties.
Looking after this situation, Mao Union Imphal was approached and finally the Mao market came into fruition, he said adding that ever since 2015, the market has been going strong.
Many local clubs, Meira Paibi and people have been supporting the market, he added.
