CM said- barbaric act, conspiracy to disturb peace and order
The official said that security forces have been deployed in the area to keep the situation under control. Chief Minister Y. Khemchand said that this attack is a ‘barbaric act’. He said that this is a ‘direct attack on humanity and an attempt to spoil the peace and order maintained with great difficulty in Manipur.
Singh said, ‘I condemn this in the strongest terms. There should be no doubt that those responsible will be identified, traced and strict action will be taken as per the law. Such terrorist acts will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
He also appealed to the people to remain united and stand strong against those elements who try to disturb the collective harmony.

Another official said that an explosive device was also recovered from the area near Troglobi on Tuesday.
