Imphal, September 03 2014:
Manipur BJP appealed to the United Naga Council (UNC) on Wednesday to withdraw the call for blockade of National and State Highways beginning tomorrow.
Manipur Government should take steps to ensure normalcy in the strife-torn Ukhrul district, state BJP unit president Thounaojam Chaoba said at a press meet at the party office.
UNC has called for an indefinite highways blockade in protest against the killing of two civilians in police firing during a rally in Ukhrul on August 30.The rally was held against the enforcement of 144 CrPC in the district.

Chaoba accused Manipur Government of ignoring public issues and creating problems and said the recent violent incident occurred in Ukhrul was allegedly caused by negligence of the Government.
The office building of the Ukhrul Deputy Commissioner is now manned by Assam Rifles personnel following the incident, Chaoba said and blamed it on the Chief Minister O Ibobi headed Congress Government.
"I appeal to UNC to call off its proposed stir in the general public's larger interest," Chaoba said.
He said a state of lawlessness is prevailing in the district, so now the Centre can intervene with the state administration under Article 355 of the Constitution if a quick solution is not brought about by the state Government.
"We all know the public will have to bear the brunt of the highways blockade call given by UNC.
The Government should send its representatives and hold talks with the UNC leaders to end the impasse," the BJP leader said.
