IMPHAL — Manipur Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla has appealed to citizens of Manipur to renew their shared resolve to safeguard national unity, preserve peace, and uphold the democratic ideals that define the nation.
The governor made the appeal while addressing at state-level Vijay Diwas observation at the auditorium of Manipur State Film Development Society in Imphal on Tuesday.
In his address, Bhalla highlighted the gallantry of Manipur’s brave sons—squadron leader Rizwan Malik of the Indian Air Force, Vir Chakra awardee during Operation Sindoor; constable Deepak Chingakham of the BSF, posthumously awarded the Vir Chakra; and Inspector Jeffrey Hmingchullo Hmar of the CRPF, Shaurya Chakra awardee—whose courage and sacrifice brought honour to the state and the nation.
Noting that Vijay Diwas is a solemn reminder of the courage and sacrifice that secured India’s historic victory in the 1971 War, he also paid tributes to the armed forces and honoured the soldiers who laid down their lives for the nation’s unity and integrity.
Highlighting the recent success of Operation Sindoor, the governor noted that India’s strides in modernisation and indigenous defence have fortified national security.
He affirmed that these achievements reflect the nation’s unwavering resolve and zero tolerance approach towards terrorism.
Senior officers from the civil administration, police, and military, along with veterans, students, and members of the public, attended the observance.
