2 govt offices burnt down in Churachandpur

By The Assam Tribune

IMPHAL, Sept 3 - Violence and arson continued in Manipur's trouble-torn Churachandpur town where two government office buildings were burnt down by agitators while the four-day-old indefinite curfew was relaxed for some hours today.

Police said the two offices are located near each other and the agitators protesting against the passage of three Bills in the Assembly first set fire to the divisional employment exchange at Head Quarter Veng this afternoon.

When they attempted to torch the sub-divisional officer's office, personnel of India Reserve Battalion under commanding officer N Manimohan Singh rushed to the area and tried to turn them away, police said.
