With economic strangulation due to the twin blockade of the NH-29 by the United Naga Council (UNC) and Sadar Hills District Demand Committee (SHDDC), goods from Dimapur to Imphal had stopped being transported for over 85 days.
The situation in Imphal was grim and on the eve of Diwali and Ningolchakouba festivals, Imphal-based fruit and vegetable traders have been compelled to go to Namphalong market in Myanmar at the international border with Moreh of Manipur to buy necessary items meet the increasing demands.
In Manipur, Diwali, the biggest festival of light, will be celebrated Wednesday while the Ningolchakouba festival falls on October 28. Fruit of different kinds such as orange, apple, coconut, etc. and various kinds of vegetables are indispensable items on these two festivals.
