IMPHAL, June 16: The 18th June Observation Committee has said in a press release that it gratefully acknowledges the cleaning and beautification service in and around the vicinity of Kekrupat where the valiant martyrs who laid down their lives in a bid to protect territorial integrity of Manipur were cremated being taken up by the public, clubs, organisations, associations, meira paibis, forums etc.
It has also expressed confidence that the general public of the state will take a great role in preserving the memorial complex at Kekrupat in the future.
However, the observation committee appealed to all concerned not to clean the area by mounting the memorials to martyrs where floral tributes are paid and not to do anything that may give a wrong impression of the sacred place.
