Manipur cyclist's peace ride reaches Imphal under security

Transgender social activist Malem Thongam, who embarked on an over 2,300-km cycling expedition from New Delhi to Manipur to spread the message of peace, on Thursday safely crossed the Kangpokpi district in a security convoy amid a “warning” from a Kuki outfit.

Malem Thongam, who belongs to the Meitei community,



embarked on her ‘Cycling for Manipur Peace’ expedition from the Qutub Minar in Delhi on October 2. 

They reached the Naga-dominated Senapati district on Wednesday after pedalling through various States and were scheduled to cycle through the Kuki-dominated Kangpokpi on Friday before ending the expedition in Imphal.
