Agitating mob attacks Manipur Chief Minister Biren Singh’s residence

Imphal (Manipur) – After a brief period of peace, Manipur is burning again. On the 28th of September 500 to 600 agitators tried to attack Manipur Chief Minister’s ancestral home at Heingang locality, in the eastern part of Manipur. Security Forces fired bullets and used tear gas to disperse the mob. The Security Forces could stop the mob at 100 metres from the house. Later, power supply was cut off in the area. Currently, the Chief Minister does not reside in this house. He is staying in the Government Bungalow.

Two Hindu youths of the Meitei tribe were killed recently in the State. They have been missing since the 6th of July. The names of the deceased were Hijam Linthoingambi (17) and Phijam Hemjit (20). Terrorists killed them and their pictures were put on social media, which triggered violent protests by many students in the city. The Deputy Commissioner’s office in Imphal West District was also vandalised in the early hours, on the 28th of September. Four-wheelers were torched.

Editorial Perspective

This kind of situation proves that violence will erupt repeatedly if the root cause is not removed.
