IPSA observes Dark Day

Regarding the observance, IPSA president Maibam Bisheshwor said the British defeated Manipur in the Anglo-Manipuri war of 1891 and hoisted their Union Jack flag inside Kangla on April 27, 1891, which IPSA has been observing as Dark Day every year.

People of Manipur have suffered a lot in different phases of history due to disunity among the princes and hence present leaders should work as per pulse of the people and support each other to bring development in the society, he said and called for bringing unity among hills and valley people.

Manipur is yet to break apart but almost divided as there is no free movement at present, Bisheshwor said and stressed the need for hills and valley people to work together to foster a united Manipur.
