Dr Kishan

KAKCHING, Jun 28 : At least 100 saplings of different varieties were planted today at Dr  Thingam Kishan Memorial Block located at the Heritage Complex of Angan Ching Eco Park, today in memory of the late Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO) of Ukhrul.
The tree plantation programme was organised by Alliance for Development Alternatives (ADAM) Kakching and Angan Ching Eco Park Management Committee in association with Dr Thingnam Kishan Foundation (DTKF) and Mapari Ningsingkol Lup (MANIL).
As a part of the programme, Thoubal DC Ahanthem Subhas inaugurated Dr  Thingam Kishan Memorial Block in the presence of family members of late Dr Kishan and members of the organisers while Kakching DC Salam Somorjit planted a jackfruit tree at the memorial block.
At the function, A Subhas said that Dr Kishan  was a righteous and honest Manipuri and planting some saplings in his honour would hopefully restore the ecosystem to some extent.
Wife of Dr Kishan, Thingnam ongbi Athokpam Romita Devi said that the programme was organised with an objective to mitigate climate change and prevent further degradation of the environment.
