Most of the programs have been cancelled to pay solidarity with the people who lost their lives and houses in the conflict.
The Pastor said that due to the ongoing tension in the state most of the programs have been cancelled.
Meanwhile, Associate Pastor of Tangkhul Baptist Church Imphal, Roger said that this Christmas, they decided to cooperate with the state, and people Manipur to bring peace in the state.
