Imphal, March 20 2025:
Citing present unrest situation in the state, local bodies resolved that only rituals shall be performed by Lai Committee in connection with Chinggoi Luppa/Baruni Khurumba that falls on March 27 for this year.
In a joint release, organisations of Nongpok Sanjenbam Khullel, Khunou, Kambongput and Sangshabi reasoned that it would be irrational to trek Baruni in the name of religion amidst the ongoing crisis.
As such, gathering of people would be prohibited for Chingoi Luppa/Baruni Khurumba while only religious rituals will be performed by the Lai committee, the release maintained.
Appealing to people of Andro, Kongba, Naharup and Top Khongnangkhong area to support the prohibition, they cautioned that in case of non-compliance individuals concerned shall have to face the consequences.
