Imphal: The People's Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak and its armed wing, the Red Army, marked Athoubasinggi Ningsing Numit on November 12. This annual event honors members who died for an independent, socialist Kangleipak. The party held observances at its Central Headquarters, General Headquarters, the 707 Mobile Battalion, and four base areas alongside a training centre.
The group remembered those lost to the movement since 1979. Organizers specifically noted the deaths of three members at Kameng Leimarok on November 12, 1978, and the loss of leader RK Tullachandra on November 12, 1985. The party views these dates as key milestones in its history.
Leadership led the ceremonies. At the Central Headquarters, the Chairman joined members of the Interim Council and the Charge d'Affairs of the Publicity and Propaganda Department. Meanwhile, the Chief of Army Staff attended the event at the General Headquarters with other high-ranking officials. Attendees held a two-minute silence for the dead, followed by a revolutionary gun salute from Red Army personnel.
Public involvement remained high. Citizens across Manipur lit torches at gates, homes, and roadsides to show support. PREPAK thanked the public and media for their participation. Regarding the future, the outfit stated: "The struggle against Indian imperialism will continue until its stated objective of establishing an independent, prosperous and egalitarian society was achieved."
