Imphal, June 27 2014 :
A lathode was found at the gate of DM College of Arts girls hostel at around 1.30 pm today.
A bomb disposal squad of Manipur Police retrieved the lathode shell and set it off safely at Lamphelpat.
The bomb was found in the interior side of the gate.
Meanwhile, the college students' union has strongly condemned the act of placing the lathode shell inside the college compound.The students' union general secretary Ningthoujam Premchand said that the incident has seriously disturbed academic atmosphere.
A live bullet was found at the girls' hostel gate on March 23 this year followed by another one on April 14 .
Subsequent upon these incidents, the students union appealed to the Principal and relevant authorities to deploy security forces within the college campus but it went to deaf ears.
Appealing to all concerned to refrain from such activities in future, Premchand urged all UG groups to explain why the explosive was planted there, if any of them were behind it.
He also sought immediate attention of the Government authorities.
