CoTU said it decided to impose the indefinite blockade along National Highway-2 and 37 over the alleged indifferent attitude of the concerned authority in dispensing law and order in Kuki-Zo inhabited areas.
The powerful Kuki group has reimposed an indefinite economic blockade of Imphal Valley. The Kangpokpi-based tribal organisation, Committee on Tribal Unity Sadar Hills Or CoTu, started the blockade in Manipur today.
CoTU said it decided to impose the indefinite blockade along National Highway-2 and 37 over the alleged indifferent attitude of the concerned authority in dispensing law and order in Kuki-Zo inhabited areas.
NH 2 connects Imphal with Dimapur in Nagaland and NH 37 links Imphal with Assam's Silchar. Both highways are vital to Manipur to maintain surface communication with the rest of the country via Nagaland and Assam.
