Manipuri/Meitei customary writing system

Dear Unicoders,

Is Manipuri/Meitei customarily written in Bangla/Bengali script or
in Meitei script?

I am looking at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meitei_language#Writing_systems which seems
to describe writing practice in transition, and I can't quite tell where it
stands.

Is the use of the Meitei script aspirational or customary?
Which script is being used for major newspapers, popular books, and video
captions?

Thanks,
markus
