Caught in insurgent crossfire, Manipur newspapers suspend publication
Newspapers in Manipur went off the press Wednesday after a gift-wrapped rocket-propelled grenade was delivered to a newspaper office in Imphal Tuesday night. Journalists and editors decided overnight to suspend publication of all dailies indefinitely and pull news bulletins off local cable channels. The grenade received by the Sangai Express came from a faction of the underground People’s Revolutionary Party of Kangleipak (PREPAK). The faction was trying to coerce the daily into dropping a statement issued by its rival faction. According to Khogendra Khomdram, editor of the newspaper, unidentified persons came to his office late Tuesday evening and left behind with a staff member the grenade packed in a packet meant for a mobile handset. The packet contained a label on which was written in bold ‘home department of PREPAK’. The decision to suspend publication of newspapers was taken by the Editors’ Forum, Manipur (EFM) and the All-Manipur Working Journalists’ Union (AMWJU) at a late-night meeting. The lone cable television operator in the state, ISTV, too took off air its four daily news bulletins.
