Addressing the event, the chief guest highlighted that Huyen Lallong was not only a tool of offence and a shield of defence in the early days, but it is also laced with intricate elements of governance and rules to be followed by an individual from birth to death.
He emphasised that such an invaluable treasure passed down by our forefathers should not be ignored.
Expressing sadness that many in the present generation are undermining the art form, he added, "It is our responsibility to keep our tradition and culture alive" .
