IMPHAL,May 4 – The diamond jubilee of Chiengkawnpang village in Churachandpur district was celebrated with much fanfare and joviality on Friday at Chiengkawn community hall.

“Being brought up in the village, I am very much a part of Chiengkawnpang,” Power Minister T Phungzathang, who was the chief guest, said recalling his schooling in the late sixties in the village.

Praising the multi-cultural composition of the village which is a melting pot of different communities including Gangtes, Simtes, Paites, Thadous and Meiteis, Phungzathang assured the villagers that their demands will be addressed including renovation of the village hall.

Walking down memory lane, Soizalal H Thangjom, a retired government officer, said that the village has made its presence felt even in the international level.
