Ranbir Thouna takes forward 'Save Loktak' campaign
IMPHAL, Jun 20: An audio and a video cassette were released in connection with the “Save Loktak - our life,’ a mass campaign started by singer Ranbir Thouna in order to save Loktak lake, the only fresh water lake in the north eastern region, which is also a lifeline for the Manipuri people, at a function held this evening at the Jawaharlal Nehru Manipur Dance Academy in Imphal.
The release function was attended by state tourism minister, TN Haokip as chief guest and education minister L Jayentakumar as the president. The state IFCD minister N Biren, T Mangibabu the chief whip of the Congress, Dr. Kh Ratankumar, chairman of the MANITRON, MLA M Prithiviraj and RK Jnanranjan, general secretary of the AMMIK were the guests of honour on the occasion.
TN Haokip said he felt that only the state government’s initiative was not enough to save the Loktak, but it required the cooperation and support of the people too. He appealed to the public of the state to work jointly to save the Loktak which is a vital lake for the state.
L Jayentakumar maintained that the Loktak was a big resource for the people of Manipur, but if the people kept affecting its eco-system it was sure that in the coming years the Loktak would disappear totally from the state. And once this happens various problems like drought and floods would besiege the state, he said while stating it was the right time to control all unwanted happenings in and around the Loktak area.
In order to save Loktak the very first initiative taken by Ranbir Thouna should be to encourage the people of Manipur to take care of the lake.
The audio and video cassettes were released by Tammna Sanggai and Ranbir Thouna is the director of the productions.
In this connection, a musical nite has already been organised on April 10 at the BOAT in Imphal, and road shows, motorcycle rallies and pamphlets and hoardings also used last month.
