Imphal advertised as an "Abroad destination" in a major Indian travel site
04th December 2011 *
Dear Editor,
When all the people of Manipuri are expressing their anger for isolation and neglect by the Central Government and media over the 4 months economic blockade that keep the state unconnected from the rest of the country, another shocking incident happened when the reputed travel portal Yatra(dot)com posted a advertisement in Google Search engine which read as INDIA to Imphal - Lowest Airfare to Abroad Guaranteed.
When approached on the number given along with the advertisement, the staffs of Yatra(dot)com said it may be mistake of GOOGLE.
This incident hurt the sentiments of the Manipuris and it clearly show the general mentality of the people towards the people of Indian state of Manipur.
Such incident is not call for a country like India, where we believe in unity and diversity, and respect all the joining states that formed the Union of India.
Necessary action should be taken up against Yatra(dot)com in order to avoid such major mistake that can harm the unity and peace of the country.
Sincerely Yours,
Khuraijam Jibankumar Singh
