The Manipur government's move to ensure smooth movement on two key highways in the state faces resistance from civil society groups of the Kuki tribes.
Manipur Chief Secretary Vineet Joshi in a public notice on Thursday had announced the opening of the two highways "for use by all". For this, more security forces would be posted along the two highways, the state government had said.
The Kuki group Indigenous Tribal Leaders Forum (ITLF), however, has decided to seal the entire Churachandpur district, which would block the state government from posting more forces and open the routes, citing concerns over possible disruption during the Christmas season.
