Imphal, July 29 2015:
Strike supporters today attacked a Maruti EECO van carrying an expecting mother on the way to RIMS hospital for delivery.
The incident took place at a place near Langthabal Lep along Mayai Lambi under Singjamei PS in Imphal West at around 11.40 am today.
Phurailatpam (O) Omita Devi of Langmeidong Mamang Leikai, Thoubal district was taken in the Maruti EECO van to RIMS hospital for delivery.
Husband of Omita said that the strike supporters, instead of listening to his pleas that he was taking his pregnant wife to the hospital for delivery, started attacking the vehicle with stones and clubs.
The back windscreen and right window glass of the vehicle were damaged in the attack.
The front windshield of the vehicle also cracked, he said.
They were allowed passage only when his wife collapsed after a loud shriek, he said.
He further said that although he supports the pro-ILPS movement, he denounces the act of attacking a vehicle that carries a pregnant mother.
