However, recently an organisation Kege Mourang Apunba Lup Moirang has issued leaflets claiming that instead of Thanga Sendra it should be called as Moirang Sendra and not only this but the SDO Moirang has also issued that Sendra is under the revenue jurisdiction of Village no 53, Moirang part II sheet no 1, he said.
He continued it is also learnt that a complaint was submitted to the DC Bishnupur on October 13, 2014 raising objection to the calling of the Sendra as Sendra Tourist Ground, Thanga as it is located on the foothills of Sendra Hills..
He said Sendra has been known as Thanga Sendra since time immemorial.
He continued even after the signing of the merger Agreement with the Indian government when there was still the territorial council, and N Thonglen was the member, there was no connection between Moirang and Thanga revenue.
He said Ithing Sendra, Thanga cannot be change to another name and further appealed to the concerned authorities to solve the issue.
