Singh passionately highlighted the sacrifices made by Manipuri women during critical historical periods, particularly their role in reclaiming the motherland from Awa during the Seven Years Devastation.
Addressing contemporary challenges, Singh called for unity among communities to restore peace in the state, acknowledging the difficulties faced by those affected by ongoing law and order issues.
Regarding the influx of Myanmar nationals due to regional turmoil, Singh assured shelter while maintaining measures to protect indigenous populations.
Highlighting interstate cooperation, Singh stressed mutual support among neighbouring states while respecting each other’s sovereignty. He condemned unlawful incidents across the state, urging citizens to report suspicious activities rather than take the law into their own hands.
The event at G.P. Women’s College featured a poignant Nupee Lal Drama and captivating musical performances.
Distinguished attendees, including legislators, government officials, and students, graced the ceremony, reaffirming the significance of honouring Manipur’s historical heroines.
