Newspapers on Monday failed to hit the stands in Manipur as media houses and scribes protested against the diktat of militants who have threatened them with dire consequences for disobeying their orders. "We did not produce today's edition of papers in protest against the attack on the house of the editor of popular daily SANALEIBAK and president of the All Manipur Journalists' Union A Mobi at Thongju area in Imphal west district on Saturday night," sources said.
Days after a militant group threatened senior journalists of Manipur, unidentified men exploded a grenade at the residence of A Mobi, editor of vernacular daily Sanaleibak and president of the All Manipur Working Journalists' Union, the police said on Sunday.
