IMPHAL: At least 36 houses were set on fire and property worth crores of rupees was destroyed by six unknown persons at Silent village in Imphal East district of Manipur, official sources said today.
All the 36 houses were burnt down and the household property was destroyed apparently over a land dispute by six men coming from adjacent Saijang village yesterday.
Inhabitants of Silent and Saijang villages belong to two different communities, sources said, adding that security personnel belonging to the 8th Manipur Rifles Battalion were posted there to prevent any untoward incident.
