    We have been told that there are not less than 10,000 people of Bishnupriya Manipuri residing in the capital of Assam.And there are at least 10 maaltheps in the city and its suburb, why should there be only one celebration,that too at a distant place,Maligaon. I request B.M people of Guwahati to come forward and observe this utsav in all Maaltheps.Let the message be reached to every corner of the city.
