Model Club and Chingamakha Apunba Nupi Lamjing Lup appealed to general population to drop Ningol Chakkouba celebration this year considering the present turmoil in the state.
Speaking to the media at Manipur Press Club on Sunday, Lamjing Lup president S Shyama reminded all concerned that since outbreak of ethnic violence on May 3, many have been displaced from home and taking refuge in relief camps, scores lost their fives, bodies of two students yet to be recovered and last rites of many still pending.
Considering the hardships faced by the people of the state, the Lup resolved to appeal to all concerned especially under its jurisdiction to forego this year's Ningol Chakkouba festival along with refraining from gambling and bursting firecrackers, Shyama added.
