A new team of the Longsa Youth Organisation (LYO) was inducted on Saturday at the Longsa Village Community Hall, with the aim of strengthening its role in community development and encouraging greater youth participation in village and district affairs.
The induction programme was attended by chairman of Longsa Government Employees’ Union, Benri Ezung, as the special guest. Ezung urged the new team to uphold trust, commitment, and responsible leadership in carrying out their responsibilities, reminding them that trust takes time and dedication to build but can be lost through a single mistake.
Ezung described youth as a powerful force in society, playing an important role in questioning and redirecting authorities when necessary. However, he cautioned against over-ambition and encouraged them to consult elders and draw from their wisdom. He also stressed the need for a change in mindset, urging the younger generation to strive for better and keep pace with a rapidly changing world.
The chairman appreciated the organisation’s efforts to document and highlight the village’s heritage through its booklet, terming heritage preservation an important responsibility. He encouraged the youth to remain connected to their roots while working for community progress.
LYO president Y. Limhathung Ezung thanked the people for their confidence and assured that he would discharge his responsibilities with dignity. He called for collective responsibility, stressing the need to stand together and face challenges collectively.
The newly elected team comprises Y. Limhathung Ezung as president, A. Amos Ezung as vice president, Wobenthung T. Humtsoe as general secretary, and nine executive members.
