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.
