Imphal, November 11:
Large number of people converging at the southern end of Mapal Kangjeibung and stall owners doing brisk business at the Fish Fair-cum-Fish Crop Competition 2007 set off the Ningol Chakkouba festival mood.
The fair organised by Directorate of Fisheries on the eve of the grandest festival of Manipur's Meitei community was inaugurated by Fisheries Minister Md Allaudin Khan as the chief guest while Khundrakpam AC MLA Th Lokeshore presided the occasion.

In his address, the Minister acknowledging that demands for fish far exceeds supply/production insisted that he is making all out effort to increase budgetary allocation of the Department in order to address the people's requirement by bridging the demand-supply gap.
Expressing confidence of his objective for enhanced fund provision getting positive response, Md Allaudin also conveyed that from next year fish farmers would be extended financial assistance to encourage them breed and increase production.
The functional president Lokeshore handed over cash incentive of Rs 1000 each to S Dhaneswor and S robindro as reward for their plentiful production.
The Directorate had been organising such fairs since 1975 with the 2007 edition accommodating 54 stall owners/participants with the fish production tipping 41,000 kg scale.
