Road blockade hits life in Manipur
Assam Tribune | Imphal, Sep 19 (IANS):
Prices of essentials have shot up two to three times in Manipur as a 50-day-old protest road blockade of crucial national highways in the state is preventing vital goods from reaching the north-eastern state, officials said here Monday.
The official said the blockades have created a severe shortage of essential commodities, including diesel and petrol.
People have to wait in long queues in front of petrol pumps, sometimes for an entire day, to buy a few litres of fuel.
Currently, a kg of potato costs Rs.40 in the market while one kg of onions is Rs.60. Prices of other essential commodities have also shot up to double or triple value as the blockade of key highways continued.
