Highway 39
Morung Express | Wilson Kayina | Nov 15
Highway 39 is a humanizing story of people living in and around the NH-39 who are caught in endless conflict perpetuated by state and non-state actors with desperate hope for solution and peace. Chakravarti’s excellent command over the language and vivid account of reality makes the readers actually feel and see the situations on real-time basis.
The draconian aspects of AFSPA have been narrated through tragic stories of young Luingamla from Naimu village of Ukhrul district, who was raped and shot dead by a captain of the Madras Regiment in 1986; a family in Kohima whose children died or crippled when the 16th Rashtriya Rifles opened indiscriminate firing and shelling on the civilian upon bursting a tyre of the military convoy in 1995 on the NH-39; fake encounter in Imphal that killed a former rebel and an innocent lady along with her unborn child; and abduction of a little girl by Manipur police commandos to trap her parents who were suspected to be cadres of underground outfit, among others.
