A low-intensity explosion triggered panic in Manipur’s Churachandpur in the early hours of Wednesday, officials said.

The blast occurred at Elim Veng near the Jamsuan-Sahei roads junction, they said.

No one was injured in the explosion, they added.

Locals claimed that some persons came to the area around 1 am on a two-wheeler, hurled the bomb and left.

Police said an investigation was under way to identify those behind the blast.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
