Imphal, January 22, 2012:
Four persons were attacked by some unidentified persons by opening several rounds of fire at their houses this morning.
Even though no one was injured in the firing attacks, protest demonstrations were staged today denouncing the firing attacks in civilian populated areas.
Several rounds of bullets were fired at the courtyard of Konjengbam Rabichandra (45) s/o K Dhananjoy and Moirangthem Achoubi (48) s/o M Iboyaima at Kongba Nandeibam Leikai, Lai Muriba this morning.
A few minutes later, unidentified persons opened some shots at the courtyard of Thokchom Angouba (46) s/o Th Gouramani and Sagolsem Joykumar (60) s/o late S Bira at Kongba Ucheckon Chongabi.
Empty cases of several spent bullets were recovered by Irilbung Police from the two places.
Later, denouncing the acts of opening fire in areas thickly inhabited by civilians, womenfolk staged protest demonstrations at Kongba Nandeibam Leikai Lai Muriba and Kongba Ucheckon Chongabi.
At both the protest sites, the protesters put up placards which read as "We condemn terrifying people by opening fire in civilian areas", "We want peace", "All those involved in the firing attacks should come up with an explanation without delay" etc.
