The Council of Trade Unions (CoTU) has called for a non‑cooperation movement in Kangpokpi, demanding an end to security forces’ presence and urging a review of free movement on NH‑2.
In a statement released on Thursday, the Council of Trade Unions (CoTU) announced a non‑cooperation movement in Kangpokpi, a town in Manipur’s Senapati district.
The movement targets the security forces deployed in the area, citing concerns over their presence and alleged restrictions on local movement. CoTU demands the removal of forces and a review of free movement on NH‑2.
CoTU has urged residents to refrain from interacting with security personnel, to avoid using public transport, and to support the protest through peaceful means. The organization warns that the movement could affect traffic on NH‑2, a major highway connecting Imphal to other parts of Manipur.
Local authorities have not yet responded. The protest is expected to last for several days, with CoTU planning to monitor the situation and coordinate with other unions.
