Imphal, October 08 2014:
The age-old tradition of Mera Houchongba celebration which marks the exchange of gifts between the hill and plain people is a solid evidence that the hill-valley people are one.
This was stated by Dy CM Gaikhangam during the Mera Houchongba celebration today at Konung Kangla under the aegis of Kangla Religious Committee.
Gaikhangam said mutual love and trust between the hill and valley people was warmer and stronger in olden days when there were no good communication system.
The attachment dwindled when communication system improved.

Saying that it was very unfortunate that the bond of brotherhood between the hills and the valley people is diminishing, the Dy CM urged all concerned to spare collective efforts to revive the sense of love and brotherhood.
He said Mera Houchongba is celebrated since olden days to reaffirm the age-old fraternal bonds between the hill and valley people while also saying that Mera Houchongba has great significance.
Although Manipur is a tiny State, the wide and varied communities inhabiting the land coexist peacefully.
Not only that the people are diligent, they have unique qualities.
He also stressed the need to promote the indigenous game of Mukna Kangjei to the international level.
MLA Laisom Ibomcha and MLA TN Haokip attended the programme as the president and guest of honour respectively.
