IMPHAL, Feb 27: Residents in and around Tangkhul Avenue, Nagaram staged a sit-in-protest today condemning the act of an unknown assailant firing at least 2 rounds at the residence of M Solomon. The incident occurred on Feb 25 at around 6.30 pm. A close family member disclosed that while KCP (Lamyanba) had placed an extortion demand on Solomon two weeks ago, it could not be confirmed if they were responsible for the incident. Making an appeal against repeating such intimidation and violence, residents sought a clarification from those responsible why such violence was being brought onto innocent civilians. Some placards at the protest read ‘No to Gun Culture’, ‘Human Rights is our Right’ among others. Fortunately, there were no injuries or damage to property.
