I love and like the statue of Manipuri Hero Thangal General.
But hope that the government will build a much larger statue , like that of Statue of Unity , Gujarat, India. And some other attractions, Too .
Then I guess many local as well as non local will surely visit and can be transformed into a International tourists center.
As the statue depicts, The General stood tall and brave against the mighty British. The statue has been erected buy the Government of Manipur in appreciation of his bravery and sacrifice. It is located in front of Palace Compound. It is one of the most important location/junction in Imphal area. The statue has been standing in between greenery and passing through the statue in evening is satisfying. It is located just after Sanjenthong bridge.
