Giving the key note address of the function, Chief Editor of Kangleipakki Meira Wangkhemcha Shyamjai said the award has been constituted as a token of respect to mediapersons who dedicated their lives to the profession.
Although Kangleipakki Meira was one of the most popular dailies in the State at one time, it has not been able to join in the competition today due to financial constraint.
Nonetheless, with genuine love for the profession, the daily has been trying its best in dissemination information to the public, Shyamjai added.
In his address as chief guest of the function, Minister Loken described media/newspaper as the backbone of a democratic Government and said that the shortcomings of the Government can be rectified as long as the media comes up with true reporting.
