IMPHAL: Poll-bound Manipur has witnessed stepped-up violence at different places in Imphal East district as a 44-year-old man was injured in a gun attack at Keirao constituency on Wednesday night, while a bomb exploded near the residential gate of Khurai’s NPP candidate Laitonjam Jayananda on Thursday morning.
Manipur will vote on February 28 and March 5 to elect 60 legislators. The results will be declared on March 10. The valley districts that house 40 seats have witnessed different forms of sporadic violent incidents since the last few weeks, even as Assam Rifles on Wednesday seized six IEDs and other explosive materials in Manipur’s Moreh town bordering Myanmar.
