Bishnupur district’s Thingnunggei lake is introspected to preserve its natural phenomena of migratory bird which makes it as an ideal tourism destination of Manipur. The state’s authority has instructed the fishers of the region to pursue an alternative option like fish and vegetable collection to retain their livelihood from this ideal Loktak natural resource point.
