Imphal, December 23 2023:
The 11th death anniversary of journalist Thangjam Dwijamani alias Nanao was observed at his memorial erected at Thangmeiband Cheiraoching on Saturday.
Dwijamani worked as a stringer for Doordarshan Kendra, Guawahati and also as a correspondent for Prime News, Guwahati.
Speaking on the occasion, All Manipur Working Journalists Union (AMWJU) president Bijoy Kakchingtabam urged all concerned not to harass or harm media persons, but instead assist the media in disseminating the truth to the masses.
Stating that the Union had been urging the government to renovate Nanao's memorial, he expressed dissatisfaction over the negative response from the government so far.
Thangmeiband United Club (TUC) president Pratap Leishangthem said that it was extremely unfortunate to have the memorial not properly constructed even after a decade.
He then said that both clubs and Meira Paibis of Thangmeiband will help in maintaining the cleanliness of the memorial site once it is renovated.
As part of the observance, floral tributes were offered at the memorial.
Thangmeiband AC MLA Kh Joykisan also attended the observance along with others.
