Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh took to social media today to promote the 45th Fish Fair cum Fish Crop Competition, organized by the Department of Fishery, Government of Manipur, at Hapta Kangjeibung, Palace Compound, Imphal East. The annual event, held in anticipation of the upcoming Ningol Chakkouba festival, aims to highlight the hard work and dedication of fish farmers across the state.

With a targeted fish sale of 1,50,000 kilograms this year, the fair serves as a vital platform for local aquaculture, showcasing a diverse array of fresh, high-quality fish products.
