The year 2017 has gone and now we are in the New Year, 2018. The year 2017 was a significant year of integrity of all Manipuri/Kangleicha, all the people of the hill and the valley. The festivals of Mera Hou Chongba, NIngol Chakkouba and Sangai festival play big roles in bringing integrity of different communities like Meitei, Meitei Pangal, Naga and Kuki communities. In many places, both in the hill and the valley districts, the people from all communities gather together eating and drinking together. Actually, the year 2017 was the one of the most memorable years, forget about all the communities mentioned above, even the Security battalions such as Assam Rifles, BSF, CRPF and so and so organised the Ningol Chakkouba. The Manipur Baptist Convention also celebrated the Ningol Chakkouba festival at Manipur Baptist Centre Church, Chingmeirong, Imphal. In the year 2017, the Sangai Festival also played a significant role in promoting integrity of Manipuris. Many people from tribal communities represented in the festival and performed traditional and cultural dances. In the year 2017 Christmas was also celebrated by all communities of hill and valley of Manipur/Kangleipak.
