He was also the first president of the Changlang District Football Association and was serving as president of the Chamchang-Sheychu Society at the time of his demise.
The Changlang DCC deeply mourned the demise of the veteran party leader and said, “His unwavering dedication, commitment to public service, and decades-long contribution to the party and the people of Changlang will be remembered with great respect and admiration.”
Its Working president Pinna Kitnal Muklom Singpho added in the statement that Sena’s passing was a huge loss for the party in the state.
Conveying heartfelt condolence to the bereaved family, the DCC prayed for eternal peace of the departed soul.
His last rites will be performed on Monday.
