Dr Birchandra has been working sincerely for the welfare of the poor and needy by providing free treatments and saving numerous precious lives.
Apart from his profession, he has also been making significant contributions for the development of not only Kakching district but for Manipur as a whole, she added.
In view of the prevailing tense situation in the State and the immense hardships faced by the people, Pramodini appealed to all concerned not to resort to acts of creating fear among the civilians by placing bombs in residential areas.
She also called for peaceful means for resolving any issues or misunderstanding by holding discussions rather than terrorizing people.
The protestors used placards which read 'Stop demanding hefty amounts of money', 'Stop terrorizing civilians', 'We condemn placing of bombs at residential areas', etc.
It may be noted that two unidentified persons came to the residence of Dr N Birchandra and one of them placed the hand grenade on a table at the ground floor of his house which is also used as a garage yesterday evening around 5 pm.
The reason behind placing the grenade is still not known.
Upon receiving the news, a team of Kakching Police led by OC Wangkheimayum Romi visited the site and took stock of the situation.
Bomb experts arrived at the site around 9.45 pm yesterday and removed the grenade safely.
