Dimapur | April 15
Dimapur Bongs, a registered socio-cultural organisation, in collaboration with the Nagaland Department of Tourism, announced a fundraising concert titled "Aahobane 1433" during a press conference at Hotel Saramati on April 15.
The event is scheduled for April 18 at the DDSC Stadium, starting at 6:00 pm. Minister of Tourism and Higher Education, Temjen Imna Along, will attend as the chief guest. He will be joined by guest of honour Tovihoto H Ayemi, MLA & Advisor, Tribal Affairs and Election, while Dimapur Municipal Councillors will be in attendance as special guests.
The musical line-up features Kolkata-based rock band T.R.A.P, contemporary fusion group INSYNC, and folk-fusion artist Imna Yaden, alongside performances by local musicians.
The organisers said the concert serves a dual purpose: marking the Bengali New Year ("Aahobane" translating to welcoming the New Year) and raising funds for the society’s humanitarian projects.
Proceeds will directly support Dimapur Bongs' ongoing initiatives, which include educational sponsorships for underprivileged students, critical medical aid, disaster relief, and a year-round blood donation network.
Tickets are priced at Rs 300 (General), Rs 1,000 (Single Entry-Premium), and Rs 2,500 (Couple). They are available for purchase at the Dimapur Bongs Office (Kalibari Road), the Royal Enfield Showroom, and the Nerolac Showroom (Army Supply Road), as well as at www.ahibi.in.
