Unknown persons assaulted two persons including operator of an excavator engaged in construction of the Mayang Imphal to Bishnupur Toubul road, on Tuesday.
A meeting of the Mayang Imphal - Bishnupur Road Development Committee, Khuman United Clubs and Meira Paibi groups, was convened in connection with thrashing on Wednesday.
Speaking to reporters, Committee joint secretary Kh Binanta informed that the incident took place around 1.30 pm Tuesday when driver Th Govindas and Chongtham Shyamchandra of Mayang Imphal were at the worksite.
Around four persons in a white Hyundai Creta car arrived and started to open fire near the legs and ears of Shyamchandra and assaulted both on the charge that they (miscreants) were not allowed to overtake, he said.
Chipping in, Mayang Imphal Apunba Meira Paibi Lup secretary Th Rebika condemned assault of innocent people by armed miscreants and demanded that the organisation, if any, involved should clarify and the government prevent recurrence of such unwanted incidents.
