Manipur: Naga blockade to end tonight after five months

Live Mint  

Imphal: The Manipur economic blockade imposed by the United Naga Council nearly five month ago would be lifted from midnight on Sunday, said an official statement after the talks among the centre, the state government and the Naga groups. The joint statement issued after the tripartite talks, held at the Senapati district headquarters, said there would be “unconditional release of the arrested UNC leaders and all cases related to the economic blockade against the Naga tribe leaders and the student leaders will be closed.” The statement was signed by joint secretary Satyendra Garg of the union home ministry, additional chief secretary J.Suresh Babu and commissioner Radhakumar Singh of the Manipur government and UNC general secretary S. Milan and All Naga Students Association president Seth Shatsang. The tripartite talks were held first on 7 February in Imphal for ending the blockade on two national highways NH 2 and NH 37, but they had failed to make any headway as the UNC refused to allow the seven new districts to be carved out. The joint statement said the next round of tripartite talks would be held within a month at political level.
