Manipur honours its brave mothers

On the occasion of Nupi Lan Day (women’s war) at Nupi Lan Memorial Complex here on Thursday, the Manipur government paid rich tributes to the brave mothers of the state who fought against the British forces.
Manipur’s women had risen in agitation against the British regime to protest the mass exploitation and artificial famine in 1904 and 1939. The agitation later evolved as a movement for the constitutional and administrative reform of the erstwhile kingdom of Manipur.
Participating on the occasion, chief minister N. Biren Singh on Thursday assured the gathered audience that the government was fully committed to uphold the dignity and honour of women.
He said the state government has established fast-track courts to deal with crimes against women to deliver speedy justice.
Special women cells have also been opened in all the police stations in the state, he said. Biren Singh said, “It is indeed a matter of pride that many Manipuri women are at the forefront in various fields in the country.”
