The Lainingthou Sanamahi Temple Board has launched a month-long programme to pay tributes to the ones who gave their lives and became martyrs during the prevailing crisis.
The programme began on Saturday at Lainingthou Sanamahi Temple Board complex located at Hayingkhongbal near 1st Manipur Rifles Battalion campus in Imphal on Saturday.
The programme will continue the whole month of ‘Langban’ as per the Meitei lunar calendar.
