26-year-old Totngam, who works in Delhi, was travelling to Ukhrul in Manipur for Christmas but had to take shelter at a friend's place after the bus they were travelling in was set on fire on Sunday evening. On Monday, their friend drove them to safety to the border of Imphal valley. Imphal continues to be tense two days after the violence broke out in the area over the economic blockade by Nagas and the recent terror attacks on security forces.
