Manipur Violence: 2 Grenades Recovered in Dibrugarh

Manipur has been experiencing rocket attacks, drone attacks and firing for the past few days and students in Manipur , particularly in Imphal West have been staging protests against this ongoing violence. In a latest development, a major attack has been averted after two grenades were found in Dibrugarh.

DGP GP Singh, in a post on ‘X’ (formerly known as Twitter), said, “Plan of violence stymied in Upper Assam . Two grenades recovered in Dibrugarh.”

The situation in Manipur remained tense but under control on Wednesday after students clashed with security forces during their march to Raj Bhavan here a day before, police said.

Curfew, which was imposed in the state's capital Imphal on Tuesday afternoon, continued to be in place this morning, while additional security forces were deployed and frequent patrolling by policemen was underway in the town to avoid any untoward incident, a senior officer said.

"The situation remains tense but under control," he said. A clash broke out between students and security forces during a march to the Raj Bhavan here on Tuesday.

The government on Tuesday evening issued an amended order, stating that the suspension of internet services in the wake of intensified agitation by students applies only to the five valley districts. The agitating students attempted to march towards the Raj Bhavan in Imphal to press for their demands to remove the DGP and security advisor to the state government.
