Meetei Erol Eyek Loinasillol Apunba Lup (transl. United Forum for Safeguarding Manipuri Script and Language), shortly known as the MEELAL (Meitei: ꯃꯤꯇꯩ ꯏꯔꯣꯜ ꯏꯌꯦꯛ ꯂꯣꯏꯅꯁꯤꯜꯂꯣꯜ ꯑꯄꯨꯟꯕ ꯂꯨꯞ), is a group that works for the development of Meitei language (officially known as Manipuri language) and Meitei script (officially known as Meetei Mayek). It is one of the groups that spearhead the historic Meitei script movement against the Government of Manipur.
Standardisation of 27 letter system
MEELAL (Meitei: ꯃꯤꯇꯩ ꯏꯔꯣꯜ ꯏꯌꯦꯛ ꯂꯣꯏꯅꯁꯤꯜꯂꯣꯜ ꯑꯄꯨꯟꯕ ꯂꯨꯞ) promotes the usage of 27 letter system of Meitei script, with the following goals:
(1) banning all attempts to prevent the use of 27-letter Meetei Mayek script.
(2) any organisation found violating the resolutions will be regarded as public enemy.
(3) for the government to consult experts and take up requisite steps for promotion of the 27 letters of the Meetei Mayek script.
Script educationalization movement
MEELAL had a long journey of protesting against the government of Manipur for not making Meitei script an academic writing system for Meitei language in the educational institutions of the state. After countless agitations, their goal was achieved in 2006.
MEELAL organises coaching camps for teaching Meitei script, and also distribute related books, across Manipur and other Manipuri populated areas.
Script officialization movement
MEELAL pressurized the government of Manipur to make Meitei script an official writing system for the state's official language, Meitei language, in place of the Bengali script. They proposed that the wording, "written in Bengali Script" in the Manipur Official Language Act 1979, should be corrected and replaced with "written in Meetei Mayek script".
Standardisation of the official name of Meitei script
MEELAL objected the proposal of the government of Manipur to rename the official name of Meitei script from "Meetei Mayek" to "Manipuri Mayek", stating that Roman script isn't renamed as "International script", and Hindi language's Devanagari script isn't renamed as Hindi script.
Script publicity movement
MEELAL worked for the inclusion of printings in Meitei script, alongside the predominantly used Bengali script in Meitei language newspapers, especially in Manipur.
Movement to include Meitei script in Indian currency
The Meetei Erol Eyek Loinasillol Apunba Lup (Meitei: ꯃꯤꯇꯩ ꯏꯔꯣꯜ ꯏꯌꯦꯛ ꯂꯣꯏꯅꯁꯤꯜꯂꯣꯜ ꯑꯄꯨꯟꯕ ꯂꯨꯞ) works for the movement of inclusion of Meitei script in the currency notes of India, by pressuring the government authorities to do it.

It checks if there are presence of inappropriate borrowed words or loan words from other languages, in Meitei language suspected books and other publications, as well as even in movies, and music. If non native elements are found, they take actions like banning the publications or productions, and giving them chances of correction.
Classical language status movement
MEELAL demanded that Meitei language should be declared as a classical language of India. They requested the government of Manipur to do whatever is necessary to the central government.
MEELAL investigated and exposed that the Manipur government didn't take adequate steps due to which the official recognition of Meitei language as a classical language is delayed, when other counterparts were already declared.
Opposing imposition of other languages
MEELAL opposed the policy of government of India to make Hindi a compulsory subject for the students of all the 8 Northeast Indian states, upto class 10. It was seen as an imposition, with a threat to the existence of Meitei language and script.
Language day observations
Every year, MEELAL organises the celebration of Manipuri language day, remembering the recognition of Manipuri language (Meitei) as a scheduled language of India.
