Bomb Blast Rocks Village Near Myanmar Border

October 3: A powerful bomb was detonated along the Manipur-Myanmar boundary, near a Muslim village, officials said on Monday.

Official
sources said the blast took place near boundary pillar No.79 at 8 p.m.
on Sunday, hardly 40 metres from a Muslim village.

Soon after the
blast, the police and Assam Rifles troopers rushed to make
investigation. No arrest was made. There has been no claim from any
underground organisation either. The police said the motive behind the
blast is yet unclear.

Some villagers said, “We feared more blasts
and exchange of fire. Most of us fled towards the town to stay in the
houses of relatives and friends.”
