An Old Age Home founded by Palem Panthou Mashaikol Lup was inaugurated by titular king and MP of Rajya Sabha Leishemba Sanajaoba today at Wahgjing Sorokhaibam Leikai in Thoubal district.
The inaugural function was also attended by Yumnam Mahendrakumar, president of Palem Panthou Mashaikol Lup and Thokchom Jadumani, former vice president of BJP Manipur Pradesh as the presidium members.
International awardees from different parts of the State for their outstanding performances in different platforms were felicitated during the programme today.
Speaking as the chief guest, Leishemba Sanajaoba commended Palem Panthou Mashaikol Lup for opening such an old age home for the homeless elderly people.
However he expressed concern on the ongoing trend of admitting their old aged parents in such homes by their own children and stated that such a trend will hamper the development of the society.
Further he asserted that he will bring up the issue of about the 7 assembly segments of Thoubal and Kakching districts wherein the residents are allowed to vote but not allowed to contest election in the next monsoon session of the Parliament.
