Imphal, September 04 2014:
The otherwise busy National Highway 2 (Imphal-Dimapur) and National Highway 37 (Imphal-Silchar) experienced a quiet day today with no vehicular movement witnessed along these two highways since this morning as the United Naga Council (UNC) sponsored indefinite bandh of vehicular traffic came into force from 6 am.
However, there was no report of any untoward incident on the first day of the UNC agitation.
Ticket counters at North AOC and at Sagolband in Imphal wore deserted look as no booking took place since last evening.

An unconfirmed source from the United Naga Council (UNC) said today that it has closed all doors of negotiation except with the Prime Minister Office (PMO).
Given this scenario, the efforts by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to address the prevailing situation in Manipur may not fructify. Triggered by the August 30 incident of Ukhrul where two civilians were killed in police firing, the United Naga Council (UNC) had taken the decision to enforce indefinite vehicular traffic in all the national highways and state highways from 6 am of September 4 till such time the Government of India makes a political intervention "on our situation." The UNC had also said that there would be an indefinite ban on all construction works on national projects in 'Naga areas' in Manipur.
