“Inspected work in progress of a bridge, footpath & recreational parks at the eastern side of the #Kangla, the ancestral palace of past Meitei rulers. Also had a personal glimpse of the remnant of an ancient bridge from the Kangla which may have been constructed centuries back,” N Biren Singh tweeted.
