Raja Dumbra Singh Memorial Trust organised the 152nd birth anniversary observance of Raja Dumbra Singh at Raja Dumbra Educational Complex, Purana Rajbari (Sanakhya Ahal Kollup) on Friday.
Speaking on the occasion, trust member RK Bhupendra, who is also the grandson of Raja Dumbra, recalled that Raja Dumbra was the eldest son of Chaobiyaima Ningthemcha and Moirangthem ningol Lalitamanjuri.
He was the eldest brother of Maharaja Churachand and played crucial role in the administration of the then kingdom.
