The World Human Rights Protection Organisation (WHRPO) organized an event to observe United Nations Day today at the Press Club Majorkhul in Imphal, Manipur. The event featured several distinguished guests and speakers who emphasized the importance of human rights and unity among the people of Manipur.
The Chief Guest, Thangjam Ningtamba Meitei, Assistant Secretary of the Department of Human Rights and Development, highlighted the need for collective action and punctuality in efforts to address pressing issues. “If there is no unity, then there cannot be any work.
