A team of police led by Kakching SP, Additional SP and Sugnu SDPO rushed to the site where the bomb exploded and took stock of the situation.
Some houses situated at the river bank of Sugnu also got damaged in the attack.
Gunfights broke out with regular intervals between Kuki militants and security forces today too at Sugnu and the situation is still tense in the area.
Speaking to the media, a local Yumlembam Nandini said that the people of Sugnu have been made restless by the consistent attacks of Kuki militants.
Saying that Kuki militants have set up bunkers and dug trenches at Napat after burning down all the houses, she added that Napat which is situated on the western side of Sugnu just beyond Manipur River has been occupied by the Kukis of Lailoiphai.
Maintaining that she now also has a hearing problem and can't eat properly, Nandini urged the Government to save their lives.
