The interview was over with a lot of laughter. I think it’s my luck. But I am really happy for this opportunity”, said the excited young Thanpam Kasomhung when Ekhon TV spoke to him on phone.
Hailing from Hungpung in Ukhrul district, Thanpam Kasomhung lost his parents, Late Stone Kasomhung and Late Maireila Kasomhung when he was still very young. He completed his 10th and 12th standard from Sacred Heart Higher Secondary School, Hungpung and his graduation from Mangalore.
