United Naga Council keeps Manipur economic blockade in place after talks
Published
The United Naga Council said its economic blockade in Manipur would continue after representatives met Deputy Chief Minister Losii Dikho, Home Minister Konthoujm Govindas and nine ruling-party legislators in Senapati. The talks addressed the continuing confrontation, but the supplied report records no settlement and does not specify what concessions either side offered.
Why it matters
An economic blockade can disrupt movement of food, fuel and other essentials across already strained transport routes. The failure to reach agreement keeps pressure on residents as well as the State government.
