Sangai Festival venue

Imphal, December 10 2014:
The Manipur Sangai Festival, which was organised by the State Government spending lakhs of rupees, has virtually reduced Hapta Kangjeibung to a dumping ground as the authority concerned is yet to clean up the festival venue although the annual tourism festival came to an end 10 days back.
The condition of the ground, which serves as a venue for all the important State level functions, is appalling as the waste material and garbage left by the visitors, stall owners and organisers of the Sangai Festival were seen scattered all over the ground which otherwise must be green and sprawling.

Polythene bags, bamboos and other waste materials have totally changed the appearance of the ground, as such many right thinking citizens have started raising questions.
An elderly man, who regularly enjoys a morning walk around the ground, said that the waste material have not only become hazardous to human health but have also given a negative impact.
He questioned why the authority concerned has not cleaned up the ground although the festival ended many days back.
It may mentioned that Chief Minister Okram Ibobi had stated in his speech at the inauguration function of the Manipur Sangai Festival that the annual tourism festival had started attracting not only domestic tourists but also foreign tourists.
Beautification of the festival venue began many weeks before the commencement of the festival.
However, the ground has been left unattended after the festival.
