Hand Grenade found in Imphal-Guwahati bound passenger bus

IMPHAL, Nov 7[sangaiexpress]--- Police bomb experts safely retrieved a hand grenade from an Imphal-Guwahati passenger carrier from North AOC this morning.

At around 9.45 am the bomb experts recovered the explosive device from underneath Seat No. 21 of the passenger bus, said to be operating under Network Travels travel agency.
It is said that a passenger grew suspicious after spotting an unclaimed item wrapped in plastic bags of eatables (Potato Crackers) and passed the information to persons manning the travel agency, who subsequently contacted the police.

The police team led by Imphal West police station Officer in-charge Shantikumar also carried out further search of the said bus after off-loading belongings of the passengers.

Reacting sharply against the discovery of the hand-grenade in the bus, a passenger urging all concerned to refrain from such undesired act in the future, said that many innocent people might have been killed in case the bomb exploded.

The passenger also reminded that many students and children travel on public carriers.

Seminar on Gorkhaland Demand and Indian Gorkha Identity held in Dehradun | Photo

A seminar on Demand for Gorkhaland and its relevance in the context of Indian Gorkha identity was held on Sept 29, 2013, at Gorkhali Sudhar Sabha Bhawan, Dehradun.

Here are a few photographs taken by Bruce K. Thangkhal during the event.



******
We’ve filed reports from a guest house perched on a small hilltop, 
where the internet connection was poor—making the task quite a struggle.


A senior Gorkhali photographer warmly invited us
to his residence in Dehradun, where we enjoyed
a pleasant time over tea and samosas.
We are truly grateful to him.

"May God bless the Gorkhas in their unwavering pursuit of Gorkhaland—a just and rightful aspiration rooted in identity, dignity, and self-determination."
