Imphal, July 31 2014:
A meeting of the State level steering committee headed by the Chief Minister as chairman today held a meeting and discussed about this year's Manipur Sangai Festival.
The meeting which start-ed at 10 am deliberated on launching publicity campaign from now on so as to draw maximum number of tourists, informed an official source.
As agreed at the meeting, all preparatory works for the grand annual festival would be completed by November 18.The meeting further decided to ensure completion of Sanjenthong bridge construction ahead of the festi- val.
Even though the State Government has been working to host the Manipur Sangai Festival in partnership with a country of South East Asia, the Ministry of External Affairs is not receptive of the State Govern- ment's idea.
Many Ministers and high ranking officials were pre-sent at the meeting, added the
