World Wetland Day 2023 was observed at natural floating village Champu Khangpok in Loktak Lake, Manipur.
The Election Commission of India had approved Champu Khangpok village at Loktak Lake as a polling station on November 11, 2020. However, the polling station has now been shifted to Karang High School.
The event was organised by All Loktak Lake Areas Fisheries Union Manipur (ALLAFUM) in partnership with Ngamee Lup, Pumlen Pat Khoidum Lamjao Kanba Apunba Lup, Environment Support Group and Indigenous Perspectives.
ALLAFUM secretary Rajen stressed the need for preserving biodiversity in the lake and said there are many plants in Loktak which can be used for medicinal purposes.
