Imphal, September 30 2026: The 130th birth anniversary of Lamyanba Hijam Irabot was observed at various places today.

LINTPK

Lamyanba Irabot Ningshing Thouram Pangba Kanglup (LINTPK) organised the observance at Comet School, Changangei Uchekon.

At the event, political activist Sapam Kangleipal said mushrooming of private schools and hospitals due to failure of Government institutions is a sign that there is no responsible Government.

He said if people become responsible citizens, a better future can be built otherwise society will further deteriorate.

He said the present conflict is affecting poor people more and it shows lack of proper leadership.

Merely offering flowers and organising a function in the name of remembering Lamyanba Irabot will not carry forward his ideology, he added.

He urged people to understand what Lamyanba Irabot did and follow his path, and urged students to become productive and society-oriented.

As part of the observance, Social Students' Union of Manipur (SSUM) organised an essay competition in two categories - Class 6 to 8 and 9 to 12 - on different themes.
