The family of two children, a five-year-old boy and his six-month-old sister, who were killed in a bomb attack on April 7 in Tronglaobi village, Bishnupur district, Manipur, accepted their bodies after a 25-day wait. The attack, which also injured their mother, prompted the family to refuse the remains until those responsible were arrested. Following the incident, the government, led by Chief Minister Y Khemchand Singh, has taken steps to address the situation, including job offers for the parents and a military crackdown in the area. Protests have erupted across five districts of Manipur, demanding justice for the victims.
