The protest was carried out at around 1.30 pm at the community hall of Sapam Leirak Nongmaithem Leikai ground. It was attended by members and representatives of the Youth Bright Star Club, Nongmaithem Leikai Singlup, New Era Women Association and the Tera Keithel Women Association.
One S Pramodini, a protester, termed the IED blast an act of cowardice. If there are any differences, the matter should be settled amicably, she said, adding, "If any of our families and relatives happened to be around the proximity of the blast, they could have been severely injured".
She vehemently condemned the blast and appealed not to carry out similar acts in the future.
