Hiyanglam by-poll rescheduled to October 17
The by-poll to Hiyanglam constituency in Thoubal district has been rescheduled on October 17 in view of the Black Day observance.
Addressing media persons at his chamber in New Secretariat on Thursday, Chief Electoral Officer O Nabakishore announced that the Hiyanglam by-poll which was earlier scheduled for October 15 has been postponed to October 17 as the date clashed with the Black Day observance.
Black Day is observed every year in Manipur by various social organisations to protest the Merger Agreement which was signed on October 15, 1949.
