Imphal, June 23, : : The people of the hills and valley of Manipur cannot be separated, because the true sense of belongingness and unity remains in the hearts of original Manipuris.
In that spirit, the Manipur Olympic Association (MOA) organised the International Olympic DWSway celebration on June 23 across the state, marking the occasion with sportsmanship, unity, and environmental action.
As part of the celebrations, MOA carried out the plantation of 2,036 trees for a greener future and conducted a 3 km “Run for Unity.” The run began at the courtyard of Olympic Bhavan, Khuman Lampak Sports Complex, Imphal, and proceeded through Dingko Road, Chingmeirong Khongnang Karak, North AOC, and MMTA, before concluding at the same starting point via the southern gate of the complex.
On behalf of MOA, I express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to all participants. This includes Hon’ble Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh, Hon’ble YAS Minister Govindas Konthoujam, Hon’ble Advisor of MOA Dr. Th.
