Manipur sees fresh violence, day after bomb attack in Bishnupur district | India News

The attacks come days after two people were killed and several others were injured as crude bombs were dropped using drones on villages in Imphal West. Condemning the violence in the strongest terms, Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh had called them “acts of terrorism,” and said: “Manipur state government takes such unprovoked assault with utmost seriousness and will take up necessary response to fight such forms of terrorism upon the indigenous population.”

With these recent episodes of violence in Manipur, the Manipur Education Department ordered the closure of all educational institutes in the state on September 7. Valley based civil society organisation Coordination Committee on Manipur Integrity (COCOMI) too announced an indefinite “public emergency” asking people to stay indoors citing “unabated attacks by Kuki militants.”
