Series of bomb blasts in Manipur ahead of CM Okram Ibobi's Ukhrul visit

Imphal: Amid the tight security in Manipur’s Ukhrul ahead of Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh’s visit to the district headquarter for the inauguration of developmental projects, a series of bomb blast took place late Sunday night.

Last night, two persons suspected to be NSCN (IM) hurled two hand grenades in Hundung area, injuring one jawan.

It is learnt that the 04 Indian Reserve Battalion (IRB) jawans were deployed there a week ahead of the Chief Minister’s visit.

Though the blasts took place before Chief Minister Ibobi’s visit, he is still going to visit the Ukhrul.
