In their continued attacks on Congressmen, insurgents on Thursday hurled grenades in the houses of two candidates and several partymen in various areas of poll-bound Manipur, but none was injured.

Grenades were lobbed at the houses of Congress nominees of Langthabal and Khongman assembly constituencies in Imphal West district on Thursday morning, but none was injured, police said.

Congress workers were also attacked with grenades at Keirao, Keisampat, Haobam Marak, Sagolband in Imphal East district and at Nambol in Bishenpur district late last night.

The grenades, however, did not explode, police said.

Official sources said adequate security was provided to all candidates irrespective of party affiliation and the contestants were urged not to campaign during night.

The 60-member Manipur assembly goes to poll on Jnauary 28.
