Newspapers Manipur

Manipur police on Wednesday picked up an editor of a local Manipuri vernacular daily from his residence for his statement in a panel discussion on a local TV channel for 'questioning'.

Days after all newspapers in Manipur stopped publication following an attack on a leading daily's office, Chief Minister N Biren Singh announced that a Special Investigation Team (SIT) will probe the grenade attack. The office of Imphal-based daily newspaper "Poknapham" was targeted last Sunday but no one was injured, police sources said.

Newspapers in Imphal, the capital of BJP-ruled Manipur in the north-east, did not print any text in their editorial columns today as a mark of protest against the burning of copies of a local daily by a mob led by the BJP's youth wing

The Election Commission on Friday ordered registration of an FIR against office bearers "concerned" of Manipur BJP for publishing an advertisement without the requisite approval from the certification panel ahead of the first phase of assembly elections in the state.

Newspapers were not published in Manipur on Thursday in view of a 48-hour shutdown called in support of an inner line permit (ILP) system for the state.

A 30-year-old engineer working with a private company has been arrested by police for allegedly threatening journalists, media houses and newspaper distributors in Manipur, Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam has said.
