The association also provided lunch packs to inmates quarantining at Waikhom Mani Girl College Thoubal; Tentha High School; District Sports Complex Wangjing and YK College Wangjing and daily wagers working at different brickfields.
At the event, Moirangthem Hemanta said that similar help will be extended to other workers, fishers and working-class people in the coming days and for that he appealed to all Pradhans to inform about working days to the association for arranging the lunch packs.
