He also said that this change assumes significance in the State as it helps to change the mind-set of people from various parts of India and foreign countries in generalizing Manipur as a place of social unrest.
He also disclosed that in this year, the princess of Thailand, two chief ministers from Myanmar and the US ambassador will be attending the Sangai Festival as special guests.
N Biren also assured that the state government is taking all necessary steps to finish up the roads which are under-construction before the festival.
