Lamka, September 21 2015:
A temporary mourning shed meant to house those who wish to pay their respect to the nine 'tribal martyrs' was inaugurated today at the campus of Hiangtam Lamka Community Hall under the aegis of Hiangtam Lamka villagers.
The shed promoters said as it was not always convenient for people to pay their tributes to the martyrs who are still kept at the mortuary, the temporary arrangement was meant to accommodate people to pay tributes anytime of the day.
They have also added that they are ready to make the campus the resting place for the martyrs if it is mutually decided by the leaders and the public.

Photos of the nine martyrs, their names and other details were displayed alongside nine coffin models.
The event witnessed many heart-rending moments as the villagers paid nine gun salute and families of the 'martyrs' paid floral tributes, including by two infants whose fathers were killed in the police firing.
