In Loving Memory of Pumminthang (1976–2021)

OUR beloved brother, Pumminthang, aged 45, passed away on 12 June 2021 in his village, Kullian, after being tragically electrocuted by a low-hanging electric wire. He leaves behind his devoted wife and five young children — four sons and an eldest daughter — as well as the children of his late younger brother, for whom he lovingly cared.

His sudden departure has left a deep void in the hearts of his family and all who knew him. The negligence of the electricity department, Government of Manipur, has brought unimaginable hardship to this grieving household.

On his burial day (13.06.2021), we offered our final farewell with love and sorrow, cherishing the memories of his kindness, hard work, and unwavering devotion to his family.

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." 
~ Psalm 34:18

🙏😭😭 Bye, our dearest brother… U Min…Mangpha!😭😭🙏

Cherished moments of joy… gone too soon

Lambawi & Pumminthang

From Lamka to Imphal along Tedim Road | Photo

The journey from our hometown, Lamka, to Imphal Airport unfolded under a heavy, cloudy sky. The road stretched quietly through open fields, tall trees, and gentle hills, all washed in soft grey light. Wet roads, distant mountains, and silent farms reminded us that nature does not hurry, yet everything moves forward.

This road is the only lifeline of Churachandpur district, locally known as Lamka. Lamka town, home to various close-knit tribes, is about 60–65 kms away from the state capital.

Today, this road is called Tiddim Road in Manipur, though its correct name is Tedim Road. It connects Imphal to Tedim in Burma, passing through Zoland -- Lamka, Singngat, and the Behiang border into Myanmar—Chikha village, Tonzang, and finally Tedim. These places are inhabited by our own people since time immemorial. The road is said to have been built during the British Empire, with the aim of reaching Tedim for their troops.

The word Lamka means “a meeting place of roads”. It also connects to Sugnu, Tipaimukh, Thanlon, and Mizoram State.

Churachandpur was named after the Manipuri Maharaja Churachand Singh when our hometown was officially recognised as a district. Our elders were very happy. In our tradition, naming after someone is a great honour. We do not simply have names; they are given with meaning, respect, and family bonds.

Along the way, we met a woman selling vegetables by the roadside. We did not know her name. When we asked the prices, she told us that many of her items had already been bought by passers-by. This was her family’s income, earned patiently by the road.

This 11th of June 2021 remains a memorable day marked by clouds, wet roads, and the roadside seller.
