The families of two minors, a five-year-old boy and his five-month-old sister, accepted their bodies on Saturday after a 25-day mourning period following their deaths in a mortar attack during the April 7 bomb blast in Tronglaobi village, Bishnupur district, Manipur, India. The attack occurred while the children were asleep with their mother, who was also injured. In response to the incident, an angry mob vandalized a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) camp, leading to further violence and the deaths of three youths during a subsequent CRPF firing. The government has since promised jobs in the Indian Reserved Battalion or Manipur Rifles for the children's father, who is currently serving in the Border Security Force, and an equivalent position for their mother, a nurse. The incident has reignited unrest in Manipur, with daily protests demanding justice across several districts. The government has launched a military operation in the area and transferred the case to the National Investigating Agency, resulting in the arrest of five suspects linked to the banned underground group, the United Kuki National Army.
