Imphal, Oct 11:

A hand grenade was discovered at the residence of Remei Alimei, Chief Engineer of the Water Resources Department, in Chingmeirong Rongmei Kabui Khul, Imphal West district, on Thursday morning. The explosive device was found near the gate of the chief engineer’s house, sparking fear among the local residents.
In response to the bomb threat, women and villagers from Kabui Village organized a protest at the community hall. Lansinlu Daimei, Secretary of the Chingmeirong Rongmei Village Women Society, condemned the incident, calling it an act of terror. She expressed concern about the proximity of the grenade to Shiningla Byrn Academy, a school located near the house. Daimei described the incident as “unfortunate” and urged the perpetrators not to repeat such actions, as they cause panic in the area. She also called for disputes to be resolved through dialogue, rather than violence.
Although the grenade did not explode and no injuries were reported, the discovery led to widespread fear in the neighborhood. Protesters raised concerns about who would take responsibility if the bomb had detonated and harmed innocent people.
The demonstrators held placards with messages such as “We Stand Together Against Bomb Culture,” “Stop Creating Fear Among Innocent Public,” and “Our Manipur Deserves Justice and Safety for All.” They demanded an end to the use of explosives in residential areas.
The Namthanglong Kabui Village Women’s Organization and Namthailung Youth Club also staged similar protests, calling on the government to take swift action to apprehend those responsible, in order to protect smaller communities from such threats. Authorities have yet to identify the culprits behind the incident.
