Kakching, October 20 2023:
Keeping in view of the present crisis in the state and the hardships besetting the people, Kakching Meira Paibi Lups have resolved to forgo celebration of this year's Ningol Chakkouba, Diwali and other festivals.
Announcing this during a press meet at Kakching Phousupat Leikai on Friday, Meira Paibi member Naorem Kalpana said that the decision was taken keeping in view the hardships being faced by the displaced people, who are still living in different relief camps.
On the other hand, people of Kakching district have been helping the displaced people and fighting for protecting the foothill villages as well as the territory of Manipur.
Considering their active participation, Meira Paibi Lups in the district also appealed to all concerned to stop collecting interest, conducting Marups and donation drive from the public as the people are facing a financial crisis due to loss of income generating opportunities.
