Manipur's Stifled Highways: A Roadblock to Peace
MPCC president K. Meghachandra emphasized the critical need for restoring free movement along Manipur's highways to advance the peace process. Despite efforts, tensions between ethnic groups remain high, particularly around NH-2 and NH-37. The government's attempts to reinstate free movement have been met with resistance, leading to ongoing violence.

Efforts to restore free passage along Manipur's key highways have hit a roadblock, MPCC president K. Meghachandra stated on Monday, as the state grapples with ethnic tensions.
Meghachandra highlighted the importance of restoring free movement to facilitate peace. He noted that despite directives from Amit Shah, the situation remains unsustainable for an elected government.
The resistance from Kuki organizations over the National Highways obstructs the peace process, as they demand a separate administration for their community, heightening the state's unrest.
