Choked Manipur to airlift condoms - High HIV prevalence prompts move
The Telegraph | Guwahati, Sept. 27:
A blockade-choked Manipur could be facing an HIV epidemic because of condom shortage, forcing the AIDS Control Society to consider airlifting rubber to the state.
The Sadar Hills District Demand Committee imposed an economic blockade along Imphal-Jiribam and Imphal-Dimapur highways on July 31 in support of the creation of Sadar Hills district.
The United Naga Council imposed another blockade on August 21, to oppose inclusion of Naga villages when the Sadar Hills district is created.
The government has been trying to maintain minimal supplies through an alternative route, but condoms are certainly not part of the consignment.
Jittery over the shortage, the Manipur State AIDS Control Society has decided to take probably the last way out — airlift condoms.
