In protest against placing a handgrenade at a hardware shop of Khongjom Keithel on Monday, local Meira Paibis, women vendors and members of local clubs staged a sit-in-protest at Khongjom Keithel on Tuesday by ceasing day's activities.
The protestors held placards inscribed with slogans denouncing threat and intimidation to public, demanding peace and tranquillity, and disapproving extortion drives during the protest.
A protestor named Khangenbam Sanamacha told media persons on the sidelines that placing of the explosive device by unidentified persons at the local hardware shop caused fear among people particularly women and children.
She appealed to all concerned to stop such threatening acts in public places and allow people to live peacefully.
