\"\"<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As part of the celebrations, MOA carried out the plantation of 2,036 trees for a greener future and conducted a 3 km \u201cRun for Unity.\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I also thank participants of district Olympic programmes, my senior colleagues and friends in MOA who volunteered wholeheartedly, my office team, and all friends whom I may have unintentionally missed mentioning in today\u2019s historic event.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I am proud to be a true Manipuri. MOA, as the apex sports organisation of our small state recognised as a sports powerhouse of the nation, successfully celebrated International Olympic Day on June 23 at the main venue, Khuman Lampak Sports Complex, as well as across district Olympic associations, clubs, and institutions. The event saw approximately 2,500 participants across more than 20 locations.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s slogans echoed the spirit of the day:
\nRespect Human Rights in Sports
\nPlay for Peace, Run for Unity<\/p>\n

Once again, I salute and thank everyone for their support and participation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
