Imphal, July 02 2019:
Volunteers of Thangmeiband United Club (TUC) organised a cleanliness campaign at Awaching today, in light of the coming death anniversary observation of Lamjing Meira Sapam Robinhood today.
Speaking to media persons, TUC vice president Ngangbam Ghanashyam (Khoimu) said that the club volunteers have been carrying out the cleanliness drive every year before the observation.
He said that even to this day, the demands raised by the JCILPS have not been fulfilled and appealed to one and all to take part in the observation on July 8 .
It may be mentioned that on July 8, 2015, Sapam Robinhood (16), a student of Ananda Singh Higher Secondary Academy, died after getting injured in clashes with the police at Minuthong during a protest demanding protection of the indigenous people.
The same year, on September 3, the last rites of the deceased was performed at Awaching and JCILPS has been observing the death anniversary of Robinhood on July 8 annually ever since.
