Imphal, June 14: In fresh incidence of violence, miscreants burnt down the official residence of Manipur Industry Minister Nemcha Kipgen in Imphal West district’s Lamphel area late on Wednesday evening.

Officials said that Kipgen was not at home when miscreants burnt down her official bungalow.

Security forces led by senior officials rushed to the area and launched a search operation to nab the miscreants.

Kipgen, who was elected to the state assembly in last year’s assembly elections from the tribal dominated Kangpokpi assembly seat, is the only woman minister in the BJP led 12-member Council of Ministers headed by Chief Minister N. Biren Singh.

She is among the 10 Kuki MLAs who have demanded a separate administration and among the seven Kuki MLAs of BJP.
