Imphal, February 21

Two ITBP personnel, who were on election duty, sustained injuries in a bomb blast in Manipur’s Kakching district, police said on Monday.

The blast rocked Wangoo Tera area, around 60 km from state capital Imphal, at around 8 pm on Sunday, they said.

The ITBP personnel were on night patrol when the incident took place, police said.

They were deployed in the area as part of security for the assembly elections in the state.

The two personnel, natives of Uttarakhand, were admitted to a hospital in Imphal, police said.

Manipur will vote in two phases on February 28 and March 5. The votes will be counted on March 10.

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).
