The United Naga Council (UNC) has suspended the blockade on the Manipur highway following discussions with the central and state governments, restoring traffic flow in the region.
The United Naga Council (UNC) announced that it has suspended the blockade it had imposed on a key highway in Manipur. The move came after a series of talks between the UNC, the central government and the state government of Manipur.
The blockade, which had disrupted traffic for several weeks, was a point of contention between the parties involved. By agreeing to lift the obstruction, the UNC aims to ease the flow of goods and passengers across the state.
The central government and the Manipur administration expressed relief at the decision, noting that the suspension would help reduce tensions in the region. The UNC has not yet outlined the conditions under which the blockade could be reinstated.
Observers say that the suspension marks a significant step toward stabilizing the area, though they caution that underlying issues remain unresolved.
