Thoubal, September 28 2023:
Locals have appealed to protestors not to vandalise the building which formerly housed the BJP Wangjing Tentha Mandal office located at Wangjing Bazar as it is now a residential place.
Addressing a press meet at the said building on Thursday, one Moirangthem Rome stated that some months back, few unknown persons burned various items of the said building after which the BJP office was closed and the place turned into a residence.
If such incidents continue and arson attack carried out again on the building, then the flame may spread to nearby houses, he added.
Rome recounted that even in the earlier incident the attackers only burnt office items owing to appeal by the locals.
In Wednesday's incident also a large mob mistook the said building as the office of BJP Wangjing Tentha Mandal and stormed the place.
However, timely intervention and appeal by the locals led to the agitators sparing the building by setting on fire few items taken out from the building.
Clarifying that the said property has no connection with BJP anymore, he urged the public not to vandalise the building again.
