Today, MSAD organized a programme under the theme "1891 Remembered" to pay homage to our brave Manipuri patriots who lost their life while fighting to defend freedom against the British invasion in 1891 in Manipur. We also paid homage to all those who were exiled for life by the British. About 60 students were present in the programme. All those present in the proramme first paid homage to our martyrs with flowers and then stayed silent for two minutes as part of paying homage.
