MPHAL: Suspected rebels on Wednesday afternoon exploded a grenade at the private residence of Manipur sericulture department director K
Thaiebema Devi at Top Khong-nang-khong village in Imphal East.
The grenade exploded on the corrugated sheet atop the kitchen's roof around 2 pm, family sources said, adding that no one was injured in the blast. Devi was not at home when the incident took place. A frightened Devi later disclosed that some rebel groups had demanded a percentage of money allocated for the ongoing Manipur sericulture project funded by the Japan Bank of International Corporation. Sericulture minister L Jayantakumar Singh, who also rushed to the spot, said the attack was an attempt to hamper the smooth progress of the sericulture project.
On the other hand, a BSF patrol team detected a powerful IED planted on the road at Nongren Chingkhong in Imphal East on Wednesday. In another incident, suspected militants hurled a Chinese grenade at the residence of an ex-Jilla Parishad member at Urup Mayai Leikai village here early on Wednesday. However, the grenade did not explode.
