Manipur: Locals to Prevent Entry of Militants in Village

Imphal, Jul 26 : Villagers of an interior village in Imphal West district of Manipur have decided not to allow any outsider at their place after 8 pm, with immediate effect.

The decision was taken during a meeting between Khaidem Village Golden Youth Club (KVGYC) members and village elders on July 22 following frequent attacks by suspected militants, a spokesman of the club said today.

Those defying the village decision would be responsible for any problem in the village, the spokesman said.

Officials confirmed it but did not say whether police force would be deployed at the village

The KVGYC spokesman said suspected militants attacked the house of the village gram panchayat Pradhan Khulem Rajendro Singh by opening several rounds of fire on July 21 in connection with non-compliance of monetary demand and appealed to the militants not to disturb the villagers.
