Thoubal, October 21 2023:
A programme for paying floral tributes to those who sacrificed their lives for protecting the territorial integrity of Manipur vis-a-vis the present conflict was held at the relief camp set up at Rice Research Centre, Khangabok-Wangbal on Saturday.
The solemn event was sponsored by Yumlembam Korou Meitei of Serou Mamang Leikai and his family.
Korou was shot multiple times during a gunfight at Serou Mamang Leikai on June 5 but survived.
Speaking on the occasion, Korou, who is also taking shelter in the same relief camp, recounted that he suffered multiple bullet injuries on head, legs, back and thigh in the gunfight with Kuki militants and had to undergo treatment at Little Clinic, Nagaram and Shija Hospital, but now he has fully recovered.
Expressing gratitude to all who extended financial help to him, he mentioned that the programme was arranged with leftover funds from the assistance he had received.
