Imphal, November 13 2014:
Following a meeting between representatives of the Seijang Development Committee and Chief Minister O Ibobi today in the evening, the indefinite blockade put up along the Imphal-Ukhrul road has been lifted, said sources.
Earlier in the day, the Naga People's Front, Manipur State unit sought the intervention of the State Govt in the matter to bring a solution to the problem while also appealing to the committee which is enforcing the blockade to lift the same on humanitarian ground considering the hardships faced by the people.
The NPF in a statement has also appealed to the leaders of Saijang and Seilen to settle the problem in good faith through dialogue.
Since the present is the busiest season for the farmers and students, the road block has caused hardships to all sections of the people of Ukhrul district and those living beyond Saijang village, the NPF noted.
