Had to climb up more than 150 steps to get a glimpse of the most picturesque landscape of Imphal city and surrounding areas.”

Chief Minister Biren Singh also inspected the progress of construction works for a bridge, a footpath and a recreational park at the eastern side of the Kangla Palace.

Kangla means “dry land” in old Meetei.

Kangla was the traditional seat of the past Meetei rulers of Manipur.

Biren Singh said, “Inspected work in progress of a bridge, footpath and 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.”
