Imphal, November 06 2023:
Pointing out that several localities are assigning specific numbers to the lanes, Meetei Erol Eyek Loinasillol Apunba Lup (MEELAL) has stated that it will replace the lane numbers with local names so as to promote the mother language.
In a release, MEELAL secretary publicity Soibam Arun Meetei urged local clubs and meira paibi groups to support the initiative of MEELAL for the preservation and promotion of mother language.
Reiterating the appeal for using Meetei Mayek in large font i.e., two-third of the signboard, banner, hoardings and backdrops, he reminded all concerned about the talks held and understanding arrived at with those in the flex printing business.
However, taking undue advantage of the conflict situation, some flex printing proprietors are using Meetei Mayek only for namesake.
As such, MEELAL will meet the proprietors again and discuss what could be done regarding it, he stated.
Urging all concerned to use Meetei Mayek on top of the government advertisement published in print media and in the official papers of various departments, the secretary informed that MEELAL will start an inspection drive on the issue.
