Guwahati, September 18 (NKTV): Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh has announced that the state’s famous Sirarakhong Chilli and Tamenglong Orange have now received the Geographical Indication (GI) tag.

The CM made the announcement while speaking at the inaugural function of the Van Dhan Vikas Kendra (VDVK) Mela organised by the Forest Department yesterday.

What a great start to the day for Manipur!

I’m really happy to share that 2 (two) products of Manipur viz Hathei Chilly & Tamenglong orange have been granted GI Tag. This is a historic milestone in the history of Manipur which will increase the income of the farmers immensely. pic.twitter.com/nFeXSE5KBQ
