Imphal, October 04 2023:
Many goods trucks that had lined up at Keithelmanbi, along Imphal-Jiribam line for departure were forced to turn back after reportedly hearing sounds of gunfire.
The attackers, suspected to be Kuki militants, also descended from the hillside and set on fire three Meitei houses at Keithelmanbi today at about 9.30 pm.
Following the attack, a number of Meitei people of Keithelmanbi rushed out from their homes onto the National Highway.
The vehicles including bullet tanks, goods trucks and petrol and diesel trucks were set to head toward Jiri road along with escorts tomorrow to get essential commodities.
Due to fear of fresh gun attacks, the drivers have all turned back from Keithelmanbi.
