Fresh tension surfaced in Manipur’s Bishnupur district after multiple explosions left two people injured, raising security concerns in the region. The incident occurred in the early hours in a locality that has witnessed instability over the past several months.
According to officials, the first explosion took place near an abandoned house that has remained vacant since residents fled during earlier unrest. When locals gathered to assess the situation, another blast occurred a short distance away, injuring two civilians. The victims sustained shrapnel injuries and were immediately shifted to a nearby hospital for treatment. Authorities confirmed that both are in stable condition.
Security personnel quickly sealed off the affected area and launched a thorough search operation to rule out the presence of additional explosive devices. Bomb disposal squads and forensic teams examined the site as part of the investigation. Officials said they are working to identify those responsible and determine the motive behind the explosions.
The incident triggered anger among residents, who questioned the effectiveness of security arrangements in the area. Some locals protested, demanding stronger surveillance and quicker response measures to prevent similar incidents. The blasts have added to fears among families who have only recently begun returning to their homes after prolonged displacement.
Police have increased patrolling in and around Bishnupur district to maintain order. Authorities appealed to residents to remain calm and cooperate with security forces while the probe continues. Senior officials said they are coordinating with central agencies to ensure the situation does not escalate further.
Civil society groups condemned the violence and urged the government to prioritise civilian safety. They called for sustained peace efforts and long-term security solutions to restore normalcy in the district.
