Manipur Equestrian Association has condemned the grenade attack in a statement released this evening. It said conducting the violence act during the 15th Sentinel Cup and 9th Junior Equestrian Championship 2018 and while preparing for final and closing ceremony is a big fault from the attackers, it said.
Steering this violence while the people of state is endeavouring to save the Manipuri pony from extinction and promoting its games is very unfortunate, it added. The equestrian association appeals not to create trouble in the pony related events including Sagol Kangjei.
