Imphal, November 08, 2013:
The 74th Nupi Lan observance falling on December 12 would be jointly organised by women bodies namely Amkil, Poirei Leimarol, Kanglamei, Wacak and Chituwa at THAU Ground, Thangmeiband.
Speaking to newspersons at Manipur Press Club today, Nupi Lan Ningshing Numit Observance Committee 2013 convenor Laishram Ganeshori said the five women bodies have decided to jointly commemorate the upcoming event as a tribute to the 1904 and 1939 women's uprisings against the British regime.
Informing that affiliated units of these five bodies would also be joining the commemorative event, she urged for support and extend all possible contribution for successful observance of the event.
Regretting that people of Manipur continue to reel under severe hardships consequent to rape and atrocities committed against the womenfolk and prolonged imposition of AFSPA 1958 against which Irom Chanu Sharmila had been campaigning for the past 13 years, Ganeshori expressed hope that the joint observance of Nupi Lan will further unite the women organisations in weeding out all social malaise.
