Imphal, August 16 2015:
As celebrated across the country, the Government of Manipur celebrated the 61st Indepen-dence Day of India at 1st MR parade ground yesterday where Chief Minister O Ibobi unfur-led the National flag apart from receiving salutes given by 13 march past contingents and a combined band platoon.
On account of the ongoing ILPS movement, no school/college contingents took part in the Independence Day celebration and gathering was comparatively small.
For their distinguished service, the Chief Minister decorated six personnel of Manipur Police and two personnel of Manipur Fire Service.
