I am glad to learn that English edition of Hueiyen Lanpao, a leading local paper, will be two years old on September 21, 2010.I convey my heartiest greetings to the Editor-in-Chief of the esteemed paper and his team on the occasion of the 2nd Anniversary of the English Edition of Hueiyen Lanpao.

As you are well aware that in democracy the role of the press/media is of great importance and highly essential.

Ordinarily, media has not only been reporting events but also analyzing them to make the news stories meaningful.

In addition to this, media today has begun to concentrate on socio-political-economic and cultural issues which are of prime importance to the people.

It is observed that Hueiyen Lanpao is accomplishing its tasks by applying interpretative and investigative methods of reporting.

I am hopeful that the paper will continue its endeavour and perform its duties without fear or favour under the existing ethical codes of journalism.

Once again I wish the team of Hueiyen Lanpao every success in its endeavours.

O Ibobi Singh Chief Minister of Manipur

It gives me immense pleasure to learn that a leading newspaper Hueiyen Lanpao (English edition) has chalked out a plan to celebrate its 2nd anniversary on 21st September, 2010. The Hueiyen Lanpao stands at a crucial juncture today when members of the Fourth Estate are required to report effectively on subjects as varied as development matters and the scourge of militancy.

In such a scenario, the role of a news agency such as the Hueiyen Lanpao assumes greater importance as it has been effectively walking the tight rope of impartiality and transparency.

It is expected that Hueiyen Lanpao would continue to disseminate news with accuracy and speed.

I extend my best wishes to Hueiyen Lanpao for a golden future.

Language newspapers are the life-line for showcasing development in rural areas as well as the medium for communicating the concerns of the people.

All over the country through their multiple editions, they have acted as catalysts addressing social concerns and enriching the readers with knowledge, information and enlightened awareness.

For the North East, print media is a critical support system in providing quality information to the readers.

In this context, I am pleased to know that Hueiyen Lanpao being published in English and Meetei Script Edition from Manipur is observing its 2nd Anniversary of Publication on 21st September, 2010. I am confident that these two publications will play a vital role in providing information on key initiatives of the Government and integrate the views of the masses in promoting the concept of inclusive growth at the grass root level.

I wish the publication all success in their endeavour.

Ambika Soni.
