Imphal, June 11 2013:
The proposed indefinite blockade of Imphal-Ukhrul road to be affected from 6 pm today by Kuki National Organisation (KNO) has been called off this evening itself.
On June 8, cadres of NSCN-IM allegedly assaulted some cadres of KNO at Mahadev Lamkhai along Imphal-Ukhrul road and confiscated some weapons of the latter group.
Demanding the returning of the confiscated weapons and condemning the incident, the KNO had announced to call the indefinite blockade.
KNO's Sinai Camp information secretary Helen Kipgen informed Newmai News Network this evening that the outfit's decision to impose the indefinite blockade was reviewed today considering the public's sentiment.
