Meanwhile, Thoubal deputy commissioner Ahanthem Subhash organised a similar 'At Home Reception of Veterans and Veer Naris' at his official residence on the eve of the 8th Armed Forces Veteran Day on Saturday.
The programme which was marked by a small tea party was attended by ex-servicemen and war widows.
Speaking on the occasion, DC Subash pointed out that for past seven years, Armed Forces Veteran Day is being observed at the state level but considering issues faced by ex-servicemen in commuting to and fro, the centre has directed that this year it should be observed at district-level as well.
Top officials of police, BSF, 3rd IRB and Thoubal district administration were also present on the occasion.
