Imphal June 28: Villagers of Nungei Meitei Leikai are on tenterhooks following the imposition of curfew in the village area while a large number of villagers have fled to safer places following the clash which started on 26 evening. According to a villager, the tension which started with the firing by some unidentified persons on a group of Meira Paibis on April 11 have made life unbearably difficult for the small village with a population of about 400 with the sole transformer supplying electricity to the village being sabotaged. The difficulty is compounded by the fact that only a suspension bridge is serving as the lifeline for the village with the rest of approach roads being fenced off by the neighbouring villages. Also, the villager lamented the fact the MLA of the constitution, Abdul Naseer have so far failed to turn up and enquire about the welfare of the villagers, and the 87 Bn CRPF deployed at Nungei English School have been shifted to Sunrise Public English School increasing the tension and apprehensions of the already terrified villagers of Nungei Meitei Village.
