Protest against move to ‘shift’ proposed heritage park in Manipur
Context:
The Sangai Protection Forum along with local clubs and people of Keibul area took out a rally, demanding the construction of Heritage Park at Keibul Lamjao in Bishnupur district.
What’s the matter?
The State government had announced that a heritage park would come up near the Keibul Lamjao National Park in Bishnupur district.
Villagers are protesting against plans to shift the site elsewhere near Kimi Keibul Lamjao National Park (KLNP) in Manipur, 53 km from Imphal in Bishnupur district.
They argue that the people of the proposed site are not associated with the steps for the conservation of the endangered brow-antlered deer (Sangai).
