IMPHAL, Feb 4: A 2.3 Kg IED was found planted at the gate of the residence of Agriculture Department's Execu- tive Engineer Nongthom-bam Munindro at Nongmeibung Purna Rajbari.
Denouncing the incident, the local club, Meira Paibis and several organisations staged a sit-in protest today.
During the protest demonstration, general secretary of Nongmeibung Women Development Meira Paibi Association, Nongthombam ongbi Mutum Subita said the incident has caused panic among the locals.
Planting bombs in crowded localities threatens the safety of the people. If the bomb had exploded it could have killed and injured many innocent civilians, she said.
"We don't know why they planted the bomb. If there is any issue with the Engineer, the group or individual concerned may resolve it peacefully through proper dialogue. The Meira Paibis are willing to talk to resolve any issue," she said.
She appealed to the group or individuals concerned to claim responsibility and not to repeat the incident in the future.
