Imphal, September 19, 2012:
Following a threat issued to the officials of UBI Jiribam Branch through telephone by some miscreants, business transaction in the bank today was closed abruptly from 12 noon.
The threat is related to a monetary demand served to the bank by a certain group.
The UBI Jiri Branch is located around 100 metres away east of Jiribam PS.
Manipur Rifles personnel were deployed to guard the bank.
On September 17, it may be mentioned, social organisations of Jiribam had appealed the group involved in serving monetary demand to the bank to withdraw the demand in the interest of the Jiri public.
The bank was closed today after unidentified callers threatened to explode an explosive inside the premises of the bank which could cause casualty to the customers.
