Imphal, April 08 2009:
The third Foundation Day of the Kanglei Khorjei Kon was observed today at the Meetei Erol Eyek Loinasillol Apunba Lup (MEELAL) office with a simple yet impressive
function.
The observation function was graced by the Joint Director of Language Cell, Government of Manipur, Dr L Mahavir; MEELAL President, Ngasekpam Yumjao; acting President of Kanglei Khorjei Kon, James Khongbantabam; retired Principal of Imphal Art College, Aribam Ikanta; KLAM President, Keisham Sanahongba Mangang as the Chief Guest; President; and Guests of Honour respectively.
Delivering his Chief Guest speech, Dr L Mahavir said that the efforts of MEELAL in promoting the script of Manipuri are laudable.
He said that the state is now in a critical phase due to unavailability of employment to educated youths and as a result they are resorting to extortion by any means.
He said that the menace has to be curbed.
While expressing concern on the killing spree in the state, Dr Mahavir also stressed on the need to solve the problem.
Prizes to the winners of the state level Painting Competition organised by KKK last month have also been distributed on the occasion.
