Manipur: Seminar on Media for Communal Harmony and Responsible Journalism Held

Imphal, June 8, 2026 (DIPR): A One-day Seminar on “Media for Communal Harmony and Responsible Journalism”, organised jointly by the Editors' Guild Manipur (EGM) and the Directorate of Information and Public Relations (DIPR), was held today at Sangai Hall, Hotel Imphal.

The seminar was inaugurated by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Manipur, Shri Yumnam Khemchand Singh.

Delivering the welcome address, Dr. Th. Charanjeet Singh, Director, DIPR, expressed gratitude to the Hon’ble Chief Minister for inaugurating the seminar. He stated that the deliberations, viewpoints of the resource persons and resolutions emerging from the seminar would provide a new direction for the media fraternity and contribute positively towards the development of the State.

Giving the keynote address, Shri Rinku Khumukcham, Editor, Imphal Times, spoke on the relevance of the seminar and underscored the importance of organising such programmes regularly. He emphasized that the media plays a vital role in society and carries significant responsibilities in shaping public discourse. He noted that seminars of this nature serve as important platforms for journalists and media professionals to periodically reflect on their duties, ethical obligations and commitment to responsible journalism.

Stressing the need to strengthen the State’s media institutions, Shri Oinam Sunil Singh, Media Advisor to the Hon’ble Chief Minister underscored the importance of reinforcing the role of media and the Directorate of Information and Public Relations in promoting balanced and responsible journalism.

Highlighting the significance of local narratives, Shri Sunil Singh stated that national media should not be allowed to solely shape perceptions regarding Manipur. He urged journalists and media organisations to collectively deliberate on these issues and work towards strengthening the credibility and effectiveness of the State’s media.

Speaking at the seminar, Shri Peter Adani, President, MHJU (Manipur Hill Journalists’ Union), highlighted the need for a comprehensive and stringent policy framework to address the issue of illegal immigration in Manipur. He observed that while various States such as West Bengal, Tripura and Assam have implemented measures under existing laws to address illegal immigration, Manipur requires stronger and more specific mechanisms considering its unique socio-political circumstances.

Shri Peter Adani further expressed the view that effective and well-defined government policies could help address concerns relating to law and order, drug trafficking and other social challenges. He noted that neighbouring States have also voiced concerns regarding the impact of illegal immigration and called upon policymakers and government officials to deliberate on the issue and provide constructive suggestions for framing appropriate policies in the interest of the State.

The seminar also featured a series of technical sessions. The pre-lunch session was moderated by Dr. R.K. Nimai, retired IAS Officer. During the session, Dr. Mayengbam Veto, Joint Secretary, Home Department, Government of Manipur, delivered a presentation on “Decoding Media Advisory by Manipur Government Home Department”. Dr. S. Ibomcha, Commanding Officer, 6th IRB and SP (Special Commando), spoke on “Combating Misinformation, Rumours and Hate Speech in the Digital Era”. Natasha Elangbam, Associate Professor, Department of Mass Communication, Manipur University, delivered a lecture on “Journalism for Peace: Lessons, Challenges and Best Practices from Conflict Regions”.

The post-lunch session was moderated by A. Mobi, Senior Journalist. During the session, Shri Yumnam Rupachandra, Secretary General, Editors' Guild Manipur (EGM) and Editor-In-Chief, Impact TV, presented a paper on “Responsible Reporting During Communal Tension and Conflict Situations”.

Shri Ashem Bhakta, President, All Manipur Working Journalists' Union (AMWJU), and Shri Peter Adhani, President, MHJU, attended the inaugural function as Guests of Honour, while Shri Khogendra Khomdram, President, EGM, presided over the programme. Among those present at the seminar were Additional Directors (IPR) W. Phajatombi Devi and T. Ramesh Singh, senior editors and journalists, officials of DIPR, representatives of various media organisations and platforms, and students of Manipur University.

Tamenglong Marks World Environment Day

Tamenglong, June 6, 2026: A World Environment Day programme was held at the Youth Hall of Tamenglong Baptist Church on Saturday, bringing together government officials, church leaders, youths, forest personnel and media representatives to promote environmental conservation and climate awareness.

The event was organised by The Tamenglong Times, The Gaanphiu Mail and the Tamenglong Forest Division in collaboration with the Youth Ministry of Tamenglong Baptist Church. Sponsored by the Directorate of Environment and Climate Change, Government of Manipur, the programme was held under the theme, “Inspire by Nature, For Climate. For Our Future.”

Kachamthai F. Gangmei, MCS, Chief Executive Officer of the Autonomous District Council, Tamenglong, attended the programme as chief guest. Joel Gangmei, Range Forest Officer, was the guest of honour, while Ringbam Kamei, Editor of The Gaanphiu Mail, presided over the function. Rev. Lungdapou Riamei, Pastor of Tamenglong Baptist Church, delivered the exhortation, and Rathailung Gangmei, Youth Director of the church, administered the World Environment Day pledge.

As part of the observance, a ceremonial sapling-planting programme was conducted, led by the chief guest in the presence of youths and community leaders.

Addressing the gathering, Kachamthai F. Gangmei said that humanity bears responsibility for the current condition of the planet and must take collective action to protect the environment. He highlighted the state government's “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” initiative, which aims to encourage school students to become environmentally responsible citizens.

Noting that Tamenglong possesses the largest forest cover in Manipur, Gangmei said that although jhum cultivation has long been a traditional livelihood for hill communities, growing environmental concerns require greater emphasis on horticulture, which offers better income opportunities. Stressing the need for continuous environmental stewardship, he remarked that “every day is Environment Day.”

Guest of honour Joel Gangmei called for the sustainable use of forest resources in a manner that balances ecological protection with economic benefits. He encouraged farmers to adopt cash crops and commended the people of Tamenglong for their responsible approach towards forest conservation.
