Manipur violence: 3 injured in car explosion, Amit Shah calls all-party meeting

Guwahati/IBNS: Three civilians were injured Wednesday after a car exploded in Manipur where ethnic violence has been raging for nearly two months, media reports said.


Union Home Minister Amit Shah has called an all-party meeting in New Delhi this Saturday to discuss the situation in the violence-hit northeastern state.

The latest blast occurred around 7:30 pm. The bomb was planted in an SUV in Bishnupur's Kwakta, one of the worst violence-hit regions in the state.

Bystanders reported seeing the driver leaving the Scorpio car and that it was empty, said reports.

"The improvised explosive device (IED) was placed in the vehicle late Wednesday evening. Additional security forces have been deployed," a police officer said in Imphal.

The three civilians injured in the blast were sent to Bishnupur District Hospital. One among them was said to be serious.

Combing operations by various security forces are on in different parts of the state.

Internet ban has been extended till Sunday in Manipur, where violence erupted on May 3 after a Tribal Solidarity March was organized in the hill districts to protest against the Meitei community's demand for the Scheduled Tribe status.

Sporadic incidents of violence have been reported from parts of Manipur since then. In one such recent incident, Union Minister Rajkumar Ranjan Singh's house was set on fire in Imphal.

Meitis are a majority community of Manipur, followed by tribal communities like the Nagas and Kukis.
