A Congress ticket aspirant escaped unhurt when miscreants allegedly fired at him in Manipur’s Ukhrul town on March 18.
Predominantly inhabited by the Nagas, Ukhrul – the town and the district beyond – was largely untouched by the ethnic violence that broke out in Manipur on May 3, 2023, and left more than 200 people dead.
K. Meghachandra, the president of the Manipur unit of Congress, said on Tuesday that unknown miscreants attempted to attack former MLA Alfred K. Arthur while he was addressing an election rally in Ukhrul. The latter is seeking a party ticket from the Outer Manipur Lok Sabha constituency.
