The backward runner from Yairipok Poireikhongjil, Manarei Makhong passed through Binnakandi, Lakhipur Khuman, Tolenkhun and Pallarbond in Cachar district.

Demanding restoration of peace, he maintained that otherwise he will extend his backward running campaign to the rest of the country.
Notably, Kiran started the campaign on July 26, 2024 from Khangabok Relief Camp in Thoubal district.
