Thoubal, October 02 2013:
Police today resorted to blank-firing to control an irate mob which objected the eviction of houses built on wasteland on both sides of NH-2 at Lilong Usoipokpi.
Even as Government officials started eviction of houses, a large mob rose against the eviction drive and broke the rear and front lights of an earth excavator.
Police opened several rounds of gunshots in the air to control the mob.
However, the commotion was brought under control only after Agriculture Minister Md Nasir arrived at the scene.
The Minister promised the villagers to arrange a meeting with the Chief Minister over the matter.

Later, he left the spot with a few selected villagers to meet the Chief Minister.
Today's eviction drive was carried out after Thoubal DC issued an order in this regard following a Cabinet decision to clear the houses built at wasteland on both the sides of NH-2 from Lilong to Pallel.
It may be mentioned that the Government has set the deadlines for clearing of houses from Wangjing to Haokha as September 29 and Lilong to Tangjeng as September 30 .
Eviction drive was conducted at Tangjeng area yesterday.
Thoubal DC T Ranjit and SP AK Jhaljit also visited the site.
