Story Behind the Name of the Club:

Before the introduction of the prepaid plan in Manipur (2014), the condition for the availability of electricity was under very bad conditions. In the Imphal municipal region, there is a roster system and even though electricity is not available for four days a week. But in the rural region availability of electricity is less than 30 hours a week. Moreover, the frequent power cut is also one major problems in every region of Manipur. But the beauty of the people of Manipur is that even if there is a frequent power cut (electricity is not available) for days, everyone feels happy whenever electricity comes. When the electricity came, not only the small kids but also older persons all shouted “Mei Lak Ae” (electricity has come). Remembering those days, the club is named after the happy slogan “MEI LAK AE”.
