Thoubal, December 10 2023: The Mangani Leihun ceremony of the 13 bravehearts who were murdered at Leithao village was held today at Torongthel, Andro amid a resonating cry of grief of thousands of people.

Heartbreaking visuals of parents, families and near and dear ones breaking down at their resting site made the ceremony even more emotional.

Thousands of people including students, CSO leaders, Meira Paibis and representatives of local clubs attended the Mangani Leihun, among others.

Rich tributes were paid to the bravehearts with a pena rendition accompanied by langdren thougal and Thang-ta performances while singers of Apunba Manipur Matam Ishei Kanglup (AMMIK) presented a patriotic number.

In the morning, a large number of people gathered at Thoubal Kshetri Leikai Lampak and took out a procession from there to Torongthel by carrying the photos of the 13 Meeteis who sacrificed their lives for the cause of Manipur.

People of all ages also offered their tributes to the 13 bravehearts along the route of the procession.
