Manipur to Host Sangai Tourism Festival After Two-Year Hiatus Amidst Boycott Calls

Manipur is getting ready to host a big cultural event called the Sangai festival, which hasn't happened for two years because of problems in the state.

Workers are busy fixing up the place and building little shops.

Police are there to make sure everything is safe.

This festival usually happens in late November.

Some groups are asking people not to come because they say it's not fair to pretend everything is fine when many people are still suffering from recent troubles.

However, officials say that lots of other events happen all the time without problems, and this festival will help people who lost their homes sell their crafts and earn money.

They are even letting these people set up shops for free.
