History

The original Imphal Free Press was owned by Sapam Nishikanta.[4] In 1996, Pradip Phanjoubam walked out with the name and started a new Imphal Free Press.[4][5] Phanjoubam edits and owns the new Imphal Free Press ever since.[6] Sapam Nishikanta continued publishing under the names Manipur Free Press that turned into the Sangai Express, now the main competitor of the Imphal Free Press.[1]
