Imphal, December 06 2020:
Manipur Home Guard Employees Welfare Association (MHGEWA) organised the 57th Home Guard Raising Day today at Manipur Press Club.
The programme was attended by Y Mangi, president of MHGEWA; Md Tombi, company commander; P Chandrakumar, vice president and M Tikendra, battalion commander as presidium members.
Speaking on the occasion, Y Mangi said, the association had planned to organise the day in a full fledged manner with all the members and in the presence of the Chief Minister, but had to scrap the plan due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
He added that the association had also planned to give financial assistance to the families of deceased Home Guards, but with the woes of COVID-19 and non-payment of salary which was supposed to be given from January 2020, this too also had to be cancelled.
MHGEWA distributed masks and hand sanitisers to media persons in support of the Jan Andolan started by PM Narendra Modi.
