A mob in Manipur vandalized and set fire to the venue where Chief Minister N Biren Singh was supposed to attend a program the following day. The incident occurred in New Lamka in Churachandpur district, damaging hundreds of chairs and partially torching the newly set-up open gym at PT Sports complex which Singh was going to inaugurate. Local police dispersed the mob, but not before the damage was done. Singh was scheduled to attend a second function at Sadbhavna Mandap, but the Indigenous Tribe Leaders Forum called for a total Churachandpur shutdown from 8 am to 4 pm, citing government inaction towards tribal settlers facing eviction from reserved forested areas.
