Dimapur, November 14 (MExN): Education and Youth Affairs and Sports minister, Manipur Government DD Thaisii, popularly known as DD came to grace a community hall cum guest house at Purul, his village. He was waylaid between Maram and Barak river.
According to a report received from Anthony Henii, Some rounds of shots were directed at the entourage. SDO Purul was one among them. The uniformed men accompanying DD were not given order to reply the raining bullets. Bombs were also laid beside the road, injuring the escorting officer, Subedar Thaiho Sanii, 4th IRB.
It was also mentioned that the public house sprouted from National Rural Employment Generation Scheme and MLA Local Area Development Fund. It was seeded by former MLA Henry Paotie in 2006. The following day, Sunday, DD was his usual self again; composed and ever knowing. However signs of uneasiness, due to previous evening’s drama, could be noticed at close range as he deliberated the speech. He echoed the glorious deeds of the Congress; introduction of NREGS and waiving of KISAN Loans. With mega emphasis on the Congress party, he said, NREGS would be stopped without the Congress in power at the centre. Does it mean supporting the Congress, its policies right or wrong?
The hospitalised officer, report stated that he is out of danger. Fingers are at the four masked men, unproved yet what group they belong. RDX (Research Development Explosive) was used, as per report. And the bullet shells were identified to have come from the barrels of AK47. On the return trip, Friends of the Hill People defused the remaining live bombs. DD thanked them. And with safety ahead, the party zoomed towards Imphal in the same bullet proof Safari with a cracked windshield, somehow demonstrating that he could not be intimidated.
