Imphal: The All Manipur Working Journalists Union hosted its second annual Ningol Chak-Kouba event for female reporters today at the Manipur Press Club in Imphal. The gathering served to honor the hard work of women in the local media scene. They face tough challenges every day. The event featured a formal luncheon and a gift ceremony rooted in the traditional spirit of the holiday, which marks the bond between siblings and celebrates married women.
AMWJU President Asem Bhakta Singh oversaw the festivities. He praised the rising number of trained women joining the field. The union currently lists 364 total members, with at least 64 women active as working journalists. Many more reporters operate in the region who have yet to join the official organization. Singh credited those who helped pull the event together and noted the shifting, difficult role women play in modern media. He stated, "The union was happy to organise the event and acknowledge the contributions of women journalists."
