Imphal, July 14:
Following the announcement of the Prime Minister that the ceasefire agreement including the words �without territorial limits� would be reviewed, a high level State Intelligence report today clearly hinted that intense agitations may be precipitated in the four hill districts of Manipur by the pro-ceasefire extension lobby.
The agitation may take an ugly turn if the Government of India rescinds from its earlier stand and revokes the ceasefire extension from Manipur.
The high level Intelligence report which was submitted to the State Government yesterday said the Naga People�s Organization (NPO) is likely to launch an intensified agitation in the hill districts of Senapati, Ukhrul, Chandel and Tamenglong shortly.
The report expressed apprehensions that the agitators may resort to economic blockade on NH-39 and NH-53 and inflict damages on bridges and culverts.
The report however said that a final decision may be taken only after the representatives of NPO, United Naga Council, Naga Women�s Union Manipur, All Naga Students� Association, Manipur and Naga People�s Movement for Human Rights who are currently in Delhi return.
The report also said that if the agitation is launched then it could adversely affect vehicular movements and transportation of goods and people.
Anti-social elements may also target oil tankers, added the Intelligence report.
The State Government was urged to make necessary arrangements for the deployment of adequate security personnel on the two life lines of the State.
However according to reports received here security is still lax on the two highways and even today a truck was near Karong by unidentified gunmen on NH-39.Militants were also seen collecting vehicular taxes near the Senapati Forest Gate.
The truck was on its way to Dimapur from Imphal and two gunmen robed the people traveling on the truck of Rs 7 thousand.
The truck did not proceed further but instead turned back towards Imphal.
Some militants were seen collecting vehicular taxes near Senapati, they said.
