Mizo Army Captain Receives Prestigious Kirti Chakra

MIZO youth Captain Lalrinawma Sailo of Chanmari Veng, Aizawl, received the Kirti Chakra, one of India's highest military gallantry awards, from President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan on June 8, 2026.

According to reports, Captain Lalrinawma Sailo, who recently turned 27, neutralized all three militants responsible for the attack in Pahalgam. The militants were reportedly eliminated during the operation.

Union home minister even referred to him in Parliament as one of those who avenged the attack on behalf of the nation.

The Indian Army described Captain Rinawma's mission as "The Cleanest Operation," noting that the militants did not get the opportunity to fire their weapons. It was announced last year that he would be awarded the Kirti Chakra, and he formally received the honour today.

Captain Lalrinawma Sailo is only the second Mizo to receive the Kirti Chakra. The first was Chalhnuna Lushai, who received the award in 1968.

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.

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”.

TBCD Holy Communion Service: The Shared Table

IN a world that often feels fractured and deeply individualistic, human beings carry an innate, unchanging longing for true belonging and connection. Throughout history, communities have looked for ways to express unity, resolve conflicts, and ground their shared identity. Within the Christian tradition, this profound need finds its ultimate expression in a remarkably simple, ancient meal most commonly known as Holy Communion. Far more than a rigid, formal ritual, this practice serves as a living sanctuary of fellowship. It bridges the gap between the ancient past and modern life, inviting people to pause, reflect, and share in a moment of deep spiritual nourishment that heals both the individual and the community.

To truly appreciate this practice, one must look at its historical roots and the different names used to describe it. Holy Communion, the Lord’s Supper, the Sacrament, and the Eucharist are not different rituals; they are four beautiful names for the exact same sacred meal, each offering a unique perspective.

The Lord’s Supper focuses heavily on the history and the Host. It directly points back to that final meal Jesus shared with his closest disciples in an upper room in Jerusalem on the night before his crucifixion. This title reminds us that Jesus is the one inviting us to the table, and we are his guests.

Holy Communion emphasizes relationship and unity. The English word communion stems from the Latin communio, meaning “sharing in common”, which translates the Greek word koinonia - a deep, intimate partnership and spiritual fellowship. It highlights our vertical connection with God and our horizontal connection with one another as an equal community.

Sacrament focuses on divine grace. A sacrament is an outward, visible sign of an inward, spiritual grace. This term highlights God’s action, showing how He uses the physical elements of bread and wine to pour out His love, presence, and forgiveness.

Eucharist emphasizes gratitude. Coming from the Greek word eucharistia, which means “thanksgiving”, this name captures the joyful, grateful response of the community for Jesus’ sacrifice and God’s unconditional love.

This sacred meal traces its origin to a specific Passover gathering. By breaking the bread and sharing the wine, Jesus established a perpetual pattern of remembrance, transforming a moment of impending sorrow into a timeless promise of hope. Chronologically, the very first written account of this meal found in the New Testament is actually not in the Gospels, but in 1 Corinthians 11:23-24, written by the Apostle Paul around 53-54 AD: “For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, 'This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.'” (NRSV)

The event is also recorded historically in the Gospels of Matthew (26:26-29), Mark (14:22-25), and Luke (22:14-20). 

This meal remains vital today because it grounds abstract faith in a tangible, comforting reality. In a fast-paced society, coming to the table forces individuals to slow down, look into the eyes of their neighbours, and remember that they are part of something much larger than themselves. It serves a balanced, threefold purpose: it looks back in gratitude to the sacrifice of Jesus, looks inward to foster personal reflection, and looks forward with hope toward a healed world. By offering a place where no one is an outsider, this ancient meal provides a meaningful, insightful path toward inner peace and genuine human community.

Be Blessed and have a Joyful First Sunday of June, filled with God’s Peace, Grace, and Abundant Blessings.
