Imphal, August 15:
A solemn function was organised at Bishnupur community hall today in remembrance of Pebam Chittaranjan who committed self immolation on this day four years ago to protest continued imposition of the infamous Armed Forces Special Powers' Act 1958 in the State.
The death anniversary observation began with the release of gas-filled balloons at the very spot where Chittaranjan lit himself afire before being shifted to RIMS hospital where he succumbed to burn injuries.
Floral tributes were also paid at his portrait by the people and representatives of various civil society and student organisations.
