Twin blasts rock Manipur

Imphal, Aug 25:  Two powerful remote-controlled bomb blasts on Friday rocked Manipur’s New Pheijang village, about 2 km away from the border bridge between the northeastern state and Myanmar, officials said. H. Chaoba, Station House Officer (SHO) of the police station in Moreh, said the bombs were exploded in quick succession at 1.50 p.m. There was, however, no casualty. Soon after the explosions, one police team led by Lawrence Mollu, the Sub Divisiol Police Officer, made a spot inquiry. However, there was no arrest since the suspects had already fled. The police officer said a case was registered. Moreh and its nearby areas have been experiencing bomb blasts and killings for the past few months. (IANS)
