Times of India | Imphal, Apr 15, 2012,
A large number of people paid a floral tribute to the giant statue of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose on the occasion of the Indian National Army's (INA) 69th flag hoisting day at INA memorial complex in Moirang town of Manipur's Bishnupur district on Saturday.
On April 14, 1944, the INA/Azad Hind Fauz flag was unfurled for the first time at Moirang on the banks of Loktak lake by Colonel Saukat Hayat Malik, commander of Bahadur Group of the force, and designated the place as its headquarters.
During World War II, Japanese troop commanders and their allies chalked out battle strategies against allied forces from this place. Manipur had witnessed pitched battles, resulting in killing and maiming of thousands of soldiers of both the forces.
