Former Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh has condemned the mortar attack by suspected militants at Moirang Tronglaobi village in Bishnupur district which killed two minor siblings on Tuesday morning
“Deeply pained by the tragic attack in Moirang Tronglaobi that took the lives of two innocent children. Such a horrific act against civilians, especially young lives, is beyond condemnable,” Singh stated on social media. “While efforts may be ongoing, such occurrences underline the need for more effective ground-level vigilance and timely intervention. I believe the authorities are at the job to bring the perpetrators to justice, and reinforce measures to safeguard civilians,” he said.
“While we navigate through these tragic times, always remember who provoked when the entire state was working towards peace,” Singh stated. According to reports, the projectile was fired from nearby hill slopes, suggesting that the launch point was located more than three kilometers away. Tronglaobi lies along the vulnerable hill-valley fringe of Bishnupur district, close to the elevated areas of Churachandpur district, a region that has witnessed repeated tensions in recent months. Meanwhile, security has been significantly tightened across the area with additional forces deployed to prevent further escalation, while surveillance and search operations are underway in adjoining hill regions. Authorities are also closely monitoring other sensitive villages along the hill-valley boundary to avert any further incidents.
