Addressing the gathering, MLA Radheshyam said that Christmas is a festival that spreads joy and peace. 

“Joy isn’t just a feeling, it is profound and requires great effort. I hope the people of Tashar village bring many blessings and solve some of the village’s problems with their joy and smiles today” MLA Radheshyam said.

The MLA further stated that a human being has three important components- the body, the mind and the soul. Taking care of all three in a balanced manner is essential. He explained that the body should not be neglected and must be kept healthy through discipline and activity; the mind should be nurtured through knowledge and learning, and the soul or inner self should be strengthened through faith and prayer, particularly by attending church and understanding God’s guidance. The church also teaches us compassion for all creation, the MLA added.

MLA  Thokchom Radheshyam inaugurated the event with a village football kick-off. Tashar Village King SP Kahangshai Awunga was the event coordinator, and Ningthoukhongjam Ibungochoubi, Executive Editor of Manipur Mail, was the Guest of Honour.
