Digital Desk: Leader of the Opposition Ronnie V. Lyngdoh assured the general public that religious commitments were being honoured amidst the controversy surrounding the Cherry Blossom Festival's Sunday scheduling.

Lyngdoh called for a more expansive viewpoint, stressing that participation in the festival was entirely optional and that it was important for drawing tourists.

In response to worries, Lyngdoh suggested that having these events on the weekends—from Friday to Sunday—might attract more attendance.

He emphasised the economic significance even more, saying that tourism is an essential source of income for the State because it is one of its few sources of income.

Acknowledging the importance of religious beliefs, Lyngdoh discussed the government's directive to start the event after 3 p.m. on Sunday, ensuring it aligns with the completion of Christian prayer.
