Indefinite curfew imposed in 5 valley districts in Manipur following the death of two children in a bomb attack NEW DELHI: The Manipur government imposed an indefinite curfew across four valley districts—Imphal East, Imphal West, Bishnupur and Kakching—after two children were killed in a bomb blast that triggered violent protests and clashes with security forces. The state government has also decided to hand over the probe into the blast to the National Investigation Agency (NIA).District magistrates of the four districts issued separate orders prohibiting the movement of people outside their residences with immediate effect from April 7 until further notice. “The order shall not apply to government agencies engaged in maintenance of law and order, essential emergency and health services,” the notification stated.Earlier in the day, the government suspended internet and mobile data services, including broadband, VSATs and VPN, for three days in five valley districts in view of the tense law and order situation.Announcing the handover of the bomb attack case to the NIA, Manipur chief minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh said the decision was taken after discussions with the state home minister Konthoujam Govindas Singh and other MLAs. Condemning the attack, the CM said, “The act appears to be the handiwork of individuals or groups with vested interests in disturbing the prevailing peace in the State.” He added that a massive search operation was underway with combined forces of the State Police, Assam Rifles and CRPF, supported by helicopter surveillance. “The culprits will be caught at the earliest,” the CM assured.Manipur home minister Singh described the attackers as “peace disruptors who try to derail normalcy whenever the situation begins to improve.” He said during a high-level security meeting chaired by the CM, orders were given to capture the perpetrators of the Tronglaobi blast “dead or alive.” The state has also redeployed commandos in hill areas after a long gap, using bulletproof vehicles to bolster security operations, he added.Violence erupted in Bishnupur district earlier on Tuesday after two children, a five-year-old boy and a five-month-old girl, died of a bomb blast after suspected militants hurled a bomb at their home in Tronglaobi Awang Leikai area in Bishnupur district around 1.05 am. Their mother was also injured and admitted to the hospital for treatment. The blast set off widespread protests in the area, with demonstrators blocking the Imphal-Tidim Road and setting several trucks ablaze.Angry protesters stormed a CRPF camp near Gelmol, a few hundred metres from the bomb blast site, torching vehicles and vandalising property. At least two people were killed and five others injured when CRPF personnel opened fire on the mob, officials said.Appealing for calm, the CM Yumnam Khemchand Singh urged people “not to give in to emotions” and to cooperate with security operations aimed at restoring peace. He also visited the injured family members at Raj Medicity Hospital in Imphal and announced ex gratia assistance for the victims’ families.Local MLA Thongam Shanti Singh and former Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh were among those who condemned the incident. Shanti Singh described it as a “heinous act of violence” and an “act of terrorism,” while N Biren Singh said he was “deeply pained by the loss of innocent lives,” calling the attack “a horrific act against civilians, especially children.”About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

Ram Temple-like public awareness needed to end cow slaughter: Mohan Bhagwat MATHURA: RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Tuesday said that public awareness may help in ending cow slaughtering in India, and wished for a Ram Temple-style fervour for the purpose.”Make society devoted to cows, and cow slaughter will stop immediately. We have to make the public aware; the rest will follow,” Bhagwat said.He acknowledged the constraints of keeping cows in cities, and suggested people support ‘gaushalas’ (cow shelters) instead.The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief was speaking on the 452nd birth anniversary of Malook Das ji Maharaj at Malook Peeth in Vrindavan.”If public sentiment (jan bhavna) exists, the system has to accept it,” he said.Bhagwat referred to the landmark Supreme Court judgment that paved the way for the construction of the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya.”The Ram temple did not come up between 2014 and 2019. It came after 2019. Why? The Supreme Court, which used to say that it had other very important matters, gave a unanimous judgment,” he said.Bhagwat said the apex court gave the judgment because of the “feelings” across the country. “Similarly, the same feeling should be visible for the cows. You are also making efforts, we are also making efforts.” The decades-long struggle for the Ram temple in Ayodhya ended in 2019 with the Supreme Court judgment.A ‘bhoomi pujan’ ritual at the temple construction site was held in August 2020 in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, followed by a ‘pran pratishtha’ ceremony in January 2024.According to a statement issued after the event by the organisers, Bhagwat said he had no doubt India would become a world leader.”India, taking inspiration from its saints and its spiritual values, will provide a new direction to the world,” Bhagwat said.On the unrest in West Asia, the RSS chief said that the time has now come for “India to emerge as a ‘Vishwa Guru’ and to make a new, happy, and beautiful world.” Bhagwat stressed the need for enlightenment for everyone and urged the people to observe not only the words of the saints, but also the sentiments underlying them.He said that for 452 years, the Maluk Peeth kept the tradition of Saint Maluk Das alive. Everyone should draw lessons on the philosophy of life from this example.”There cannot be (any) religion without truth and compassion. Everyone should live together in harmony. Compassion enters one’s life when the suffering of others feels like one’s own suffering,” he said.Responding to Mahant Rajendra Das Maharaj’s demand for a complete ban on cow slaughter, Bhagwat said transform society into devotees of the cow, and cow slaughter will stop on its own.”Empower… This would be a courageous step. Cow products will be taken to every single person. The Sangh will work in this direction,” he added.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’At The Behest Of Mamata’: BJP MP Nishikant Dubey’s Shocking Claim On Pakistan’s Kolkata ThreatIndia Seeks US Waiver On Chabahar Amid Conflict; Iran Envoy Hints At Key Port Revival After WarBJP Calls Kharge’s ‘Snake’ Remark Dangerous, Alleges Communal ProvocationAssam Passport Row Turns Personal: Himanta Sarma Takes ‘Peda’ Jibe At Pawan Khera, Congress Responds’Pakistan Will Be Divided Into…’: Rajnath Singh’s Strong Response To Khawaja Asif’s Kolkata ThreatAhead Of Vikram Misri’s US Visit, Sergio Gor’s High Level Meetings Set Stage For Key Strategic TalksAfter US Rescue Ops Inside Iran, Question Emerges, Could India Have Attempted Such Mission In 2019?’India’s Global Rise Needs Military Edge’: Michael Rubin Urges Delhi To Match Power With CapabilityGovt Boosts 5-Kg LPG Allocation For Migrants As Supply Pressure GrowsPakistan’s Kolkata Threat Row: TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee Slams PM Modi, Shah With Fiery Response123PhotostoriesBrad Pitt, Tom Cruise and more: Hollywood stars who adore Bollywood actors, trends and moviesTamil Nadu’s Buckingham Canal gets Rs 45 crore makeover: Walkways, cycling tracks, Miyawaki forests planned6 Japanese ideas that quietly help calm an overthinking mind5 Times Brad Pitt made us fall in love with his characters: Benjamin Button, Lt.

NEW DELHI: Assam Police on Tuesday carried out a search at Congress leader Pawan Khera’s residence in connection with a case linked to allegation made by him against chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his family.According to DCP Debojit Nath, Khera was not found at his residence. He, however, said that electronic devices were seized during the search.He also said that some “incriminating material” was also found at Khera’s residence without divulging into details.”The case has been registered at the Crime Branch Police Station in Guwahati,” the DCP said.”The whereabouts of the Congress leader are currently unknown, but he will be traced,” he added.The team formally informed Delhi Police upon arrival, following which a local police team joined in assisting in the proceedings, news agency PTI reported, citing sources.CM Sarma claimed that Khera has “run away” to Hyderabad, after daring the Assam police to arrest him.“Pawan Khera had dared the Assam Police to arrest him, but he has now run away to Hyderabad,” Sarma told PTI.“I don’t know why they have gone, as he (Khera) ran away yesterday itself. Till yesterday, Khera was saying that arrest me, and now when police reached his home, he ran away,” Sarma claimed.Meanwhile, Congress on sharpened its attack on Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, alleging misuse of state machinery in the ongoing passport row.Reacting to the development, Congress general secretary Ramesh said the move showed the chief minister was “disturbed, desperate, and rattled”In a post on X, he said, “The deployment of a full army of police officials to arrest my colleague Pawan Khera for asking basic questions in the public interest proves that the Assam CM is disturbed, desperate, and rattled. This is not due process but instead a witch hunt, a bully using state machinery to muzzle and silence the voice of the Opposition that is exposing his many black deeds.”The controversy stems from a press conference by Khera, where he alleged that Riniki Bhuyan Sarma held three passports and owned undisclosed assets abroad. The Sarma family has rejected the claims, terming the documents “AI-generated fabrications” and “doctored images”.Sarma rejected allegations regarding properties in Dubai, claiming documents cited by Congress were sourced without authorisation from Scribd, and reiterated claims of “Pakistani links” involving Congress leaders Gaurav Gogoi and Khera.“Why did you take help from a Pakistani social media group?… my allegation is why Pakistan is helping Gaurav Gogoi,” he said.The political row has intensified ahead of the Assam assembly elections scheduled for April 9, with campaigning set to end today evening.
