Mawkyrwat, Aug 7: Seven police personnel and one civilian were injured when about 1,500 opponents of Syiem of Hima Langrin, Paiem Nangtei Sing Syiemiong, disrupted a Dorbar at Phlangdiloin village, 50 km from Mawkyrwat, and clashed with security forces on Friday.
The Dorbar, called by the recently reinstated Syiem to address allegations against him, drew over 2,000 supporters.
Myntris and the Syiem clarified issues and outlined plans for the Hima.
After the Syiem’s speech, the chairman abruptly ended the Dorbar, denying the opposition a chance to raise questions.
Opponent Wadlad Lyngdoh Langrin questioned the denial of public questioning, saying the Syiem “was afraid to answer and was running away.”
