Imphal, February 26 2012: The Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF) celebrated its first raising day together with a cultural extravaganza somewhere in Tamenglong district yesterday.

By participating en masse and presenting colourful traditional dance and music, Zeliangrong people made the first raising day celebration a notable event.

Zeliangrong people including women and children came from far off villages and participated in the raising day celebration.

They witnessed combat demonstrations presented by cadres of the Zeliangrong Tiger Force (ZTF), army wing of the ZUF.

ZUF chairman Kamson opened the raising day celebration by hoisting the party's flag after which gun salute was given to the party's departed cadres.

Speaking at the occasion, chairman Kamson asked the gathering to take the raising day of ZUF as the birthday of Zeliangrong heroes.

The ZUF was set up to protect the land and resources of Zeliangrong and kindred tribes.

There is no difference between the ZUF's movement and Haipou Jadonang's movement which was aimed at protecting the Zeliangrong people's land from British imperialists, Kamson said.
