Jiribam, November 20 2025: Jiri News Network (JNN) celebrated its 21st foundation day today at JNN Conference Hall, Babupara, Jiribam.

In his keynote address, JNN founder M Romeo Singh underscored the significant role of media and the need for Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to acknowledge these responsibilities in driving social change and development.

He stressed the heightened awareness among CSOs would help strengthen their relationship with the media and foster collaborative efforts.

During the event, attendees observed a minute's silence in honour of late Yumkhaibam Surmila, a former JNN anchor.

The dignitaries also presented gifts and a cash assistance of Rs 3,000 to Surmila's daughter, Y Langlen.
