Imphal, March 01 2014 :
A protest demonstration was staged today at Andro Machengpat, Imphal East district, under the aegis of the All Andro Meira Paibi Association, against the act of planting a bomb inside a local Anganwadi Centre.
Workers and helpers of Anganwadi centres located within Andro AC also took part in the protest demonstration.
The protesters put up placards which read as "Don't plant bombs in civilian areas", "Shed terrorist mind- set", "We want peace" etc.
Notably, a powerful IED was discovered inside an An-ganwadi centre of Andro Ma- chengpat on February 24 .
A public meeting was organised close to the Angan- wadi centre with MLA Th Shyamkumar but the meeting venue was shifted elsewhere after the discovery of the IED.
Later, Shyamkumar stated that IED was planted to target him.
Speaking to media persons, All Andro Meira Paibi Association president Asei-bam Tenu said that planting bombs inside anganwadi centre where many kids, workers and helpers were learning and teaching was a dastardly act.
She questioned whether the bomb was actually targeting MLA Shyamkumar.
She further asked all concerned to explain who and why the bomb was planted in thickly populated civilian area.
