Imphal, November 25 2010:
A two-day social work cum gospel campaign organised by the Cultural Meitei Presbyterian Christian Naharup under the theme Mee Pumnamakki Jesus Christ (Jesus Christ for all mankind) and motto "Clean Mayang Imphal" concluded today at Mayang Imphal Khuman Stadium.
The campaign was participated by around 100 campers from Kumbi, Moirang, Thanga, Bishnupur, Awangkhul, Kwakeithel, Ningthoukhong, Mayang Imphal etc.
The closing function of the campaign was graced by Mayang Imphal A/C MLA Dr Ratankumar as chief guest, Rev K Nobo as president and Rev O Kumar as speaker.
Speaking at the occasion, Ratankumar said that Mayang Imphal market complex, now under construction, is expected to be completed by January next year.
Saying that people are hoping to develop the new Mayang Imphal market complex as a model, he invited Councillors of Mayang Imphal Nagar Panchayat to identify a suitable site where solid wastes discharged from the market cannot be properly disposed.
He also decried that disposal of waste materials discharged from the existing market is being disposed into the nearby river thereby polluting the river water which in turn has been breeding several diseases.
