Imphal, Oct 2
A mob attacked a convoy of Manipur Police at Longja village in the state’s Chandel district, damaging several vehicles, though no injuries were reported, officials said on Thursday.
A police official in Imphal said that windshields of three police vehicles were damaged in the attack that took place late on Wednesday when the police were conducting an operation in the hill areas. However, there is no report of any injuries on either side.
One of those vehicles belonged to the Additional Superintendent of Police of the Chandel district, which shares an unfenced border with Myanmar.
The official, quoting reports from Chandel, said that a large number of people, mostly women belonging to the Kuki tribal community, prevented the convoy of vehicles from advancing.
