Sai Kusala, 26, triggered the hidden explosive device while walking to his farm near Nawng Pat at 3pm on 13 September.

“He has two children, one of whom is only 6 years old. He’s the main provider for the family and needs some money to pay for his medical expenses,” a man close to the family told SHAN.
