The Writers Club Manipur, Nambol (WCM) has released the shumang leela (outdoor play) book, "Eekheng Thaklabi Laibi" written by Nongthombam Sunita today at its head office at Nambol Chingmang.
Retired Director of All India Radio Imphal, Sagolsem Indrakumar and President of WCM, Dr Khangembam Shamungou graced the book release function as chief guest and president respectively.
Advisor of Manipur Sahitya Parishad, Shillong, Dr Joychandra Sanasam and writer and director of shumang leela, Niladhaja Khuman took part at the function as guests of honor.
Speaking on the occasion, S Indrakumar said that people of the state will be impressed by the female outdoor play writer coming up in the state.
All the writers of the state should try point out necessary rectifications required in the state by writing it out from their pen.
People will get better knowledge of what the author wants to convey of the outdoor play books are played on the stage rather than confining them in books only as the people of Manipur prefers to see a story in the form of shumang leela rather than reading.
He further said that the coming up of a female outdoor play writer in the state will add to the charm of the already popular art form of the state known as Shumang Leela and people will definitely like the play written by Sunita.
