Tyre Ablaze

Asian Games gold medalist Ashok Shandilya was forced to miss his matches at the National Billiards and Snooker Championship in Kolkata, after an unidentified miscreant set his car's tyre ablaze in the early hours of Sunday.

Indefinite curfew was on Monday imposed in the entire Manipur valley as roads were blocked and tyres set ablaze as part of protests against the alleged molestation of a film actress by a Naga militant and the killing of a journalist in police firing, official sources said.

Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) militants burnt down 13 coal-laden trucks in Meghalaya's East Garo Hills district on Saturday, officials said. About 10 heavily armed militants came and deflated the tyres before torching the trucks parked at a parking lot at Wageassi area under National Highway-62, police said.
