He also appealed to the AXX to put pressure on the State Government to make the Bishnupriya Manipuri Development Council a reality. DILS Sinha also appealed to the AXX and the State Government for the setting up of a cultural complex that can accommodate cultures of all ethnic groups of the State. He also requested the State Government to take steps for upgrading Bishnupriya Manipuri language and languages of other ethnic groups of the State from Class VI onwards and complete the process of teacher appointment without further delay.
