Arriving at around 1 a.m., “Magnificent Mary” was
met by an excited crowd that had been eagerly waiting at Gate 6 for hours.

redirected to a different exit, the crowd’s energy remained unshaken. Fans and
media alike rushed from gate to gate, determined to catch a glimpse of their
hero.
Amidst tight security, Mary Kom, a five-time
world champion and mother of three, was quickly surrounded by reporters and
supporters as she exited the airport. Many fans, who had brought flowers and
traditional shawls to honor her, struggled to reach her in the packed crowd.
One fan, Mr. Pritam from Manipur, lamented, “I bought flowers for Rs 500 but
didn’t get the chance to give them.”
The airport was adorned with heartfelt placards: “Queen of the Ring, MC Mary Kom, Congratulations,” “Golden Lady of India, JAI HO!”, and “Unbreakable Mary, Unbreakable Northeast India.” The crowd erupted with chants of “Long Live Mary Kom,” celebrating her incredible victory against Kazakhstan’s Zhaina Shekerbekova in the final bout.
Not far behind Mary Kom, fellow boxer Laishram
Sarita Devi, whose controversial semi-final loss to South Korea’s Park Jina
sparked widespread outrage, was also greeted with cheers. Fans held placards
declaring, “YOU ARE A CHAMPION FOR US, SARITA” and “YOUR TEARS ARE OUR TEARS,”
showing solidarity with the boxer whose courage and resilience inspired many.
As both champions waved to their supporters and entered their vehicles, the celebration in the capital marked a proud moment for Indian sports and a shining testament to the indomitable spirit of these athletes.

Aizawl, Oct 1, 2014 – The Kolabari Ram Committee has called on the Mizoram government to halt the proposed establishment of an Indian Army Headquarters in Sairang Dinthar, raising concerns over its impact on local livelihoods and the environment.
At a press conference held at the Aizawl Press
Club, Ng. Lalhmangaiha, Chairman of the Kolabari Ram Committee, revealed that
despite strong opposition from locals and multiple objections submitted by
various NGOs, the project is still underway. "We are making one final
appeal to the authorities to cancel the project in the broader interest of the
people," Lalhmangaiha stated.
He noted that five formal objections had been
filed, along with a press release. The two NGOs that had initially signed a No
Objection Certificate (YMA and MUP) have since withdrawn their support.
Lalhmangaiha emphasized that a significant portion
of the proposed site is uncultivated forest land, which serves as a vital
resource for local villagers. "Many families depend on this forest for
their livelihood. Establishing an army headquarters here will disrupt their
lives and destroy the environment. On humanitarian and environmental grounds,
we urge the authorities to cancel this project," he added.
The Zo
Indigenous Forum (ZIF) also condemned the government’s actions, arguing
that the project violates the rights of Indigenous Peoples as outlined in the
UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). Article 19 of
UNDRIP requires governments to obtain the free, prior, and informed consent of
Indigenous communities before enacting measures that affect them. Article 30.1
prohibits military activities on Indigenous lands without their consent.
ZIF has called on the Mizoram government and the
Ministry of Home Affairs to immediately cancel the project, asserting that the
establishment of the Army Headquarters in the Kolabari area of Sairang will
have severe repercussions on the social, economic, and cultural life of the
Indigenous people living in the region.
