Not that this will stop corruption. But this is perhaps the first visible sign of the State Government delivering a powerful statement that it is intent on pulling up those involved in corrupt practices.

Biren himself is a Meitei and he was calling upon fellow Meiteis to give up Meitei-centric […]
