People hit streets condemning ever growing violence in Manipur

The increasing trend of continued spate of violence unleashed by militant outfits by targeting populated residential areas with bombs and firings is met with strong condemnation from various sections of the society. In a latest incident, the residence of M. Premjit Singh, Director Extension of central agricultural University at Thangmeiband Hijam Diwan leikai under Lamphel PS, Imphal West came under bomb attack this morning around 9 am by two unidentified miscreants. Strongly reacting against the intended attack at residential areas, residents of Thangmeiband area staged a protest demonstration and urged those responsible to refrain from such attacks in future. There has been a string of bomb attacks in and around Imphal at almost daily basis in connection with monetary demands by under ground outfits and following the latest attack at the highly secured Hijam Diwan leikai nearby lamphel Police Station, residents of Thangmeiband question the logic behind exploding of bombs in residential areas and staging this protest demonstration. Though, the exploded bomb did not made any major damage, however the gate, the car allotted by the government to the official including houses of some neighboring houses were hit with splinters. Expressing their ire over such untoward repeated incidents, protestors flashed various placards reading ‘what is the worth of bomb’, ‘don’t explode bombs in residential areas’, ‘will violence bring peace’ etc and raised many questions against the logic of militants. According to the suffered family which has only two family members, such attack will not only make them anxious but also panic the surrounding areas as well. A family member narrates about the incident. On the other hand, the unwanted trend of violence is met with condemnation from various sections. According to an elderly person, violence has become the order of the day whether it is from the militant’s side or the security personnel’s side.
