Imphal, November 12: Mourners belonging to different communities thronged at the official residence of Francis Ngajokpa at Lamphel soon after the news of the discovery of the body of the young girl was spread in Imphal despite the curfew.

Every one stood up when the coffin carrying the body of Lungnila was brought and placed on a table in the courtyard.

The women, who were silently weeping, started crying loud as they saw the coffin.

The mother was inconsolable.

Despite the loss and grief, the father of Lungnila, Francis Ngajokpa, Minister GAD was very calm when he spoke to the mourners.
