The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Unknown persons blew up a PMGSY bailey bridge over the Namban Lok River between Phange and Chatric villages in Manipur's Kamjong district on Wednesday morning, reportedly using improvised explosive devices.
- The bridge is the only link between Chatric and surrounding villages and the district headquarters, so its destruction cut off connectivity to several villages.
- In a separate incident the same day, a telecom vehicle parked on the riverbank was set on fire.
- Police described the acts as deliberate attacks on public property and critical infrastructure, and have registered a suo moto case at Chassad police station under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita; the cause and accused are not yet known.
What to watch next
- Findings of the police investigation into who carried out the IED blast and vehicle arson
- Restoration of connectivity to Chatric and surrounding villages
- Further infrastructure attacks amid ongoing tension in Ukhrul and Kamjong districts
