On November 29 afternoon, Tulihal airport near Imphal wore a different look as hundreds of Bimolchandra’s near and dear ones in their mourning attire were present to receive the body. Carrying the coffin in an open truck which had the anti-terrorists festoons and playcards, the convoys of mourners passed through the main streets in Imphal before they converged at two different village grounds in the Imphal east district area for floral tribute ceremonies.

Hundreds of villagers including womenfolk in their mourning dress turned up to take part in the simple ceremonies that took place at P C ground at Top Khongnangkhong and Nigthoubung mang area prior to the last rites. Then the dead body was consigned to flames.

Meanwhile the newly floated Joint Action Committee against the killing in a memorandum to the Manipur Chief Minister O Ibobi has demanded necessary ex-gratia and a suitable job for his sister to support the family.
