The proscribed
UNLF has condoled the
demise of the Telegraph Special
Correspondent Khelen
Thokchom who also earlier
served as the Editor of The
Sangai Express (both
Manipuri and English) editions.
A press release issued by

publicity director M Sak-hen
said that Khelen Thokchom
was a well known journalist
who also worked at Hueiyen
Lanpao, Manipur News,
Ningtam Lanpao, Aryabhatta,
Eastern Clarion and Imphal
Free Press.
As a reputed journalist,
Khelen Thokchom took active

Apart from working relentlessly
to guide the
Manipuri society on the right
path, Khelen Thokchom always
upheld the ethics of

The demise of Khelen

fraternity but also for the
whole State, the outfit said.
It also conveyed solidarity
to the bereaved family and the
State's journalist fraternity.
The outfit prayed that the
departed soul may rest in
peace on the soil of Manipur.
