Mawkyrwat, Oct 20: At a time when traditional games have become a thing of the past even in rural areas, an attempt is being made in Sngap Syiem College, Mawkyrwat to revive them.

The Sports Committee of the college during its College Week had organised events to give a new lease of life to dying traditional games of ‘La-Bam-Blang’, ‘Tied-di-Bit’ and ‘Dieng-Dang’.

Chairman of the committee Dr. S Ramsiej and Machester Jyrwa, a student, said these traditional games were an integral part of every child’s life in the past, until it was never played again. They said some still remember but how to play them is forgotten.

To bring about a change, they said the college decided to hold competitions of the three traditional games, as well as Mawpoiñ, into the college event.
