Sora is in a tense situation, with an indefinite bandh in effect.

 


            The government, assisted by a significant number of security officers, attempted to resume demarcation of Yatihibi Loukol territories acquired earlier for the construction of the National Sports University this morning, resulting in a difficult situation in Sora and nearby districts.

Following the relocation of the National Sports University to Haraothel, the State Government is intending to build a giant food park at Yaithibi Loukol.

Yesterday, a team of government officials attempted to demarcate the acquired area, but locals violently protested the practise, resulting in a violent conflict between police and demonstrators.


Some protesters and police personnel were injured in the confrontation.

The delineation exercise was halted when government officials and local leaders led by elected representatives agreed to resume it only once the government and the local people had achieved an agreement.
Some government officials, followed by a significant number of security forces, attempted to resume the demarcation exercise this morning, but they were met with strong opposition from the locals.

Local residents claim that the demarcation operation is an attempt to acquire homesteads and the local mosque, which were not included in the territory acquired earlier in the name of the National Sports University's construction.




Nonetheless, amid heavy security deployment, the government began digging drains with excavators to create a boundary between the surrounding villages of Yaithibi Loukol, namely Sora, Koijam, and Langthabal.

In protest of the government's initiative, a large number of Sora residents attempted to halt the digging of the drain, but police repulsed them by firing several rounds of tear gas shells.

Enraged by the renewed demarcation attempt, a mob set fire to a police booth at Sora Chinglak and a motorcycle (Bajaj Pulsar) allegedly belonging to police.
As the situation deteriorated, police opened several rounds of fire in the air in an attempt to maintain control.
Later, around 3.30 p.m., a large group of protesters succeeded in driving the police force away from Khongjom by pelting stones and firing sling shots.

Many police vehicles were damaged in the process and some police personnel too sustained injuries.

Local people of SORA decided to impose an indefinite bandh on Imphal-Moreh highway until the issue if Yaithibi Loukol is resolve, on the other hand people coming from Moreh to kakching  road were diverted to Papal.
