Imphal: For the very first time, Manipur is all set to host the grand finale of the 59th Miss Femina India on April 15 in Imphal.
The grand finale of the beauty pageant will be held at Indoor Stadium, Khuman Lampak Complex in Imphal.
Chief Minister N Biren Singh on Thursday chaired a review meeting on the arrangements for hosting the event at his secretariat.
“Reviewed the arrangements for the 59th Femina Miss India Grand Finale which is going to be held in Imphal. The event will be another opportunity to showcase the warm hospitality of the people of Manipur to visitors and showcase our potential to host more such national events in the state,” said CM Biren Singh.
