GUWAHATI: The first-ever three-day “floating” photo exhibition organised by the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting Central Bureau of Communication Regional Office, Imphal, Manipur kicked off at Loktak Lake on Wednesday, September 21. The novel exhibition is housed on a specially constructed floating platform on the Lake and can be accessed by a wooden causeway from the shore.
As many as 88 Manipuri language creatives and around creatives of 11 unsung Manipuri freedom fighters are being displayed in the exhibition, which is open to the public till Friday evening.
Union Minister of State for External Affairs and Education Dr RK Ranjan inaugurated the exhibition.
The Union minister said that the freedom struggle history of the country will not be a complete one without including the contributions of the unsung heroes of the freedom struggle.
Keeping this in mind, the Central government is working on a composite history of freedom struggle, not a dynasty-based history and the Centre would like to include names of at least 100 freedom fighters from the northeast region of the country, he said.
