Manipur blockades create hardship
Zee News | Imphal, September 10, 2011
With two crippling economic blockades for over a month on national highways hitting hard the people particularly in the valley districts of land-locked Manipur, one of the sponsors on Saturday called for taking up 'arms'.
To add to the woes of the people, a fresh blockade was announced on yet another highway from September 15 by a different organisation.
The Sadar Hills District Demand Committee (SHDDC) had launched the indefinite economic blockades on the Imphal-Dimapur-Guwahati National Highway 39 and Imphal-Jiribam-Silchar National Highway 53 since August 1.
Its president Ngamkhohao Haokip and general secretary Tonghen Kipgen today in a signed statement said "we must be ready with any weapon at our disposal." They also called for retaliation if efforts were made to suppress the agitation.
