People of Manipur resolve to protect territorial integrity

Imphal, June 18 (UNI) Thousands of people offered floral tributes at Kekrupat memorial complex here on Wednesday to remember 18 martyrs who gave up their lives to protect the territorial integrity of Manipur.
Leaders of all communities, religious leaders, representatives of various organisations paid floral tributes and all-religion prayers were conducted .
The 24th Great June Uprising Unity day was observed to commemorate the Great Uprising in 2001 after the then NDA government announced the extension of truce with the NSCN(IM) beyond Nagaland which was rejected by people of Manipur. During the protests people of the state attacked the residences of the Chief Minister, Speaker, ministers, MLAs and political parties and burnt most of them. The Central government finally decided to call off the decision .
Chairperson of the Organising Committee, Nando Luwang and leaders of various organisations spoke on the occasion. The slogan of this year's observation was: 'We all will remain united for the motherland'.
The speakers said during the 2001 Uprising security personnel resorted to firing resulting in the death of 18 persons including a woman. All the 18 martyrs were cremated at Kekrupat where a memorial complex has been constructed.
The speakers vowed to protect the territorial integrity of Manipur. Representatives of most communities settled in Manipur came to offer tributes.
Blood donation camps and social service camps were organised as part of the occasion. No vehicles were allowed inside the premises of the complex. Volunteers distributed water and food to the people who were in the queue to offer tributes.
