Imphal, July 04 2012:
A powerful bomb was exploded at an under construction building owned by District Transport Officer, Transport Department, Manipur at Dewlaland in the heart of the Imphal on Wednesday, injuring a mason.
The blast occurred around noon when suspected militants hurled a powerful bomb at the building which is under construction, injuring one mason who was working at the site at the time of the explosion.
The injured has been identified as Ramdev, hailing from Bihar but presently staying at Mantripukhri here.
He has been brought back home after receiving treatment at Raj Polyclinic (hospital) at North AOC in Imphal.
Ramdev is stated to be out of danger.
The under construction building belongs to Simon Keishing, District Transport Officer, Manipur Transport Department.
Nganingmei Keishing, son of Simon Keishing, told Newmai News Network that Wednesday's incident was "unfortunate" as the blast wounded an innocent labourer and caused unnecessary panic to the surrounding residents.
Asked about any monetary demand served to the family, Keishing ruled out such demand from any militant organization.
He also insisted that the real motive behind the bomb attack is yet to be ascertained.
