Imphal, December 11 2013:
Locals and womenfolk of Kangabam Leikai today staged a sit-in-protest against the planting of a bomb at the residential gate of one Kangabam Tikendra, who is the IMC Councillor of Ward no 5 at Kangabam Leikai on December 10 around 6.30 am.
Speaking to media on the sidelines of the protest demonstration, Arambam Lata, joint secretary of Kangabam Leikai Meira Paibi, pointed out that it was the second time that a bomb was planted at the residence of Tikendra but there has been no monetary demand or threat served to him.
She stated that a sit-in-protest was already staged demanding the concerned organizations to clarify why the bomb was planted at the residence.
However, instead of clarifying, another bomb was found planted on December 10 thereby putting the family members and locals in a state of fear and uncertainty.
Several placards which read such as 'Bomb cannot bring peace'; 'Do not threaten civilians' etc were seen being used during the protest demonstration.
