Chandel, October 14 2019:
Decrying and defying the Government order which asked for removal of memorial stones inscribed with the words 'In defence of our ancestral land', in connection with the Anglo-Kuki War centenary commemoration, womenfolk guarded these memorial stones at some Kuki villages of Chandel district today, reports our correspondent.
One woman who was guarding these memorial stones at Molnoi area said that the State Government's order to remove the memorial stones should be revoked immediately.
Saying that the memorial stones were erected in commemoration of the valour of the Kuki forefathers who fought against British colonisers, the woman maintained that neither the memorial stones nor the inscriptions should be removed.
She said that they would continue to guard the memorial stones until the Government revokes the particular order.
