IMPHAL, December 29: A 15-member team of the All Assam Manipuri Students`\u2122 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.<\/p>\n
The team also visited Kangla, Andro Meihoubi and Singda Dam today and will visit Moirang, Sendra and Keibul Lamjao among other places tomorrow.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The students will visit the important historical sites related to the Manipuri kings, he said.<\/p>\n
He lamented that the team found that the government is charging fees for entry, vehicle parking and others at all sites.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Herajit said the Singda Dam is in a deplorable condition and the bridge of the Singda Dam doesn`\u2122t fit today`\u2122s time.<\/p>\n
He further appealed to the government to take serious concern of such sites which are important to the history of the State.<\/p>\n\n
