Imphal, April 7: Manipur Chief Minister Shri Yumnam Khemchand has strongly condemned a bomb attack at Tronglaobi Awang Leikai in Moirang, Bishnupur district, which left two young children dead and their mother injured early on Tuesday. The victims have been identified as a five-year-old boy and a six-month-old girl. The attack is suspected to have been carried out by armed militants.
Describing the incident as “cowardly” and “heinous,” the Chief Minister assured that those responsible would be tracked down and brought to justice at the earliest. He stated that such acts of violence often occur when the government initiates efforts to restore peace and normalcy in the state. According to him, there may be vested interests attempting to derail the ongoing peace process as Manipur gradually returns to stability.
Khemchand also suggested that the attack could be aimed at destabilising the two-month-old government, which was formed following nearly a year of President’s Rule. He called on all communities, regardless of ethnic or religious differences, to reject terrorism and maintain unity during this critical period.
Appealing to the public for restraint, the Chief Minister urged citizens to avoid disruptive actions such as bandhs, blockades, and vandalism of public property, warning that such measures would only worsen the hardships faced by people.
Expressing deep condolences to the bereaved family, he assured that the government would extend all possible assistance. The Chief Minister also visited the injured mother at Raj Medicity in Imphal earlier in the day and directed hospital authorities to provide the best possible care for her recovery.
