Imphal, March 17:
The Progressive Youth Association, Lamsang Keithel, on Thursday resolves to cancel the Yaoshang Sports Meet 2022 – an annual event that the organization, since its inception, has been organizing the event every year. The decision was taken during a virtual emergency executive meeting today.
In a press statement, the organization says the decision was taken after the concerned authorities neglected the association’s repeated appeals to stop the construction of any structure at the only public ground located at Lamsang Keithel.
“Even the former CM N Biren Singh always bats for parks or public grounds instead of unnecessary community halls. Respecting his idea, PYA believes that the concerned authority would act on this matter positively,” the statement emphasizes.
The statement highlights: “With the construction, there is no place left in the Lamsang Keithel area, where the organization or any individual can organize any sports or cultural events in the future. Moreover, it is risking the well-being of present and future generations.”
Since Lamsang Keithel already has two community halls, there is no need to construct another one at the only public ground left at Lamsang Keithel, the statement continued, adding that a recreational park is required to enhance the lives of Lamsang Bazar residents and the area’s overall development. Moreover, no new market shed is required, it added.
Nevertheless, the PYA stressed that the organization would not interfere with any organization or individual organizing sports events at the Lamsang Keithel area as the organization’s decision was to show disapproval of the authority’s move to ruin the only one park in the area.
