A sit-in protest was staged against the hurling of a bomb at the residence of a Meira Paibi Lup (Women Vigilante group) leader at Khurai in Imphal East District on Thursday. The members of Khurai Apunba Meira Paibi Lup (Women Vigilante of Khurai area) led by its president L Kananbala staged a sit-in protest at the Khurai Lamlong bazaar Imphal demanding a clarification for the attack at the earliest. On Wednesday night at around 10 p.m., a smoke bomb was thrown at the resident of L Kananbal, the leader of the women’s vigilante group.

This was stated by Y Utarani, an Executive Member of the Khurai Apunba Meira Paibi Lup (KAMPL) on the sideline of the protest. No one was injured in the incident.
The Lup is demanding clarification from those responsible for the bombing attack and urged not to lob bombs in the residential areas.

So far no group claims responsibility over the attack. It may be mentioned herewith that the KAMPL imposed a general strike in and around the Khurai Lamlong bazaar from 4 a.m. of October 4 till 10 p.m. on October 10 but the total shutdown was a flop show. Several organizations opposed the shutdown.
