Imphal, September 09 2022:
The hereditary coronation programme of the headman of Lemba village under Keirao AC was held at the community hall of the village on Thursday.
As part of the programme, former headman Khuishim Chilthung handed over the chieftainship of the village to his younger brother John Chilthung, owing to ill health brought on by old age.
John Chilthung, the newly crowned headman, vowed to usher in peace in the village and protect the youth from the influence of drugs.
In his speech, Lemba Village Development Council secretary Tenison Mangsava stated that former headman Khuishim Chilthung was unable to fulfil his duties due to old age and as he had no offspring, his younger brother John Chilthung was crowned the new headman as per the customary law.
The programme was attended by members of Lemba Village Development Council, leaders of Tangkhul CSOs, Church pastor, leaders of Maring village and staff of SDO/BDO Kangpokpi.
