Imphal, Aug 21: The Red fort of Delhi and Agra Fort in India are valuable historical Forts. More than a thousand visitors not only from India but from abroad visit the forts daily. Visitors are allowed to enter the forts within the given time and there is no chance to enter there beyond the given time. There is no big road in the middle of these forts though there are enough passages inside the forts. Inside the forts visitors can freely move around on foot. No Vehicle is allowed inside the forts. Even the President and Prime Minister have to follow the visiting rules of the Forts. Visitors respect the visiting rules.
With reference to these view points I would like to come to “Kangla Fort”. The people of Manipur have been taking “Kangla” as a sacred place since time immemorial . Assam Rifle left Kangla” in the year 2004 and since then the Government of Manipur using the name “Kangla Fort”. If it is a Fort , a question arises “ What type of Fort Kangla is ?” The rules of the above mentioned Forts of India and the Rules of “Kangla Fort” are entirely different. Vehicles of V.I.P. and security vehicles are moving freely in high speed through “Kangla Fort”. Visitors need to take care of the moving vehicles. People enjoy walking inside “Kangla Fort”. These things were not happening when “Kangla” was occupied by Assam Rifle. We the people of Manipur were happy when Assam Rifle left “Kangla”. Is the present position of Kangla to the expectation of the people of Manipur?
