Imphal: Supporters marked the 31st death anniversary of N.K. Sanajaoba on Wednesday. The event took place at Singjamei Wangma Torban Kshetri Leikai. It remains a major local observance. The Lamyanba N.K. Sanajaoba Ningsing Thoupang Lup organized the tribute under the direction of the N.K. Sanajaoba Memorial Trust.
Attendees included former United National Liberation Front chairman Ningthemcha Sanayaima along with Waikhom Amuchou and W. Nageshwor. They placed floral tributes at the memorial site to honor the late founder-editor of the journal Lamyanba. Sanajaoba was a driving force in Manipur's political and cultural movements.
Sanayaima highlighted the man's dedication to the cause of independence. He told reporters, "Sanajaoba's contributions extended far beyond journalism, as he had taken up several significant organisational responsibilities in the political, social and cultural spheres." Beyond his writing, he helped build the UNLF as its founder organisational secretary. He also established the Manipur Cultural Integration Conference and the Manipur State Scout Union.
