IMPHAL, December 29: A 15-member team of the All Assam Manipuri Students`™ Union led by its president Seram Herajit Singha reached the State capital today on a tour to visit the historical and religious sites in the State as part of an educational tour related with the evolution of the Meitei community.
The team also visited Kangla, Andro Meihoubi and Singda Dam today and will visit Moirang, Sendra and Keibul Lamjao among other places tomorrow.
Speaking to media persons, Herajit said the tour was arranged to develop and maintain a friendly relationship between the people of the State and the descendents of those who had left the State during the seven years devastation and settled outside.
The students will visit the important historical sites related to the Manipuri kings, he said.
He lamented that the team found that the government is charging fees for entry, vehicle parking and others at all sites.
However, what is important is not what the government is charging, but the fact that the government has failed to look properly after the important places of the State.
Herajit said the Singda Dam is in a deplorable condition and the bridge of the Singda Dam doesn`™t fit today`™s time.
He further appealed to the government to take serious concern of such sites which are important to the history of the State.
