The Gangte Tribe Union (GTU), Gangte Youth Organisation (GYO) and Gangte Students' Organisation (GSO) have condoled the demise of Lhingjaneng Gangte, the first woman Padmashree award winner from Manipur, who passed away on April 26 .
In a condolence message, the three Gangte bodies remembered Padmashree Lhingjaneng as a caring mother, a devout wife and an untiring social welfare activists.
It also said that the contributions of Padmashree Lhingjaneng for the protection and promotion of the Gangte tribe were matchless.
