Manipur Fuel Tanker Strike Ends Pending Government Talks Amid Blockade
Over 200 trucks and oil tankers remain stranded along Manipur's NH-37 due to an intensified economic blockade by the United Naga Council. Oil tanker drivers protested attacks and poor road conditions, launching a steering-down strike demanding safe passage. The strike was called off following assurances from Chief Minister Y Khemchand Singh, including compensation for injured drivers. A stakeholders' meeting is scheduled for September 15 to discuss security and transportation issues, with drivers urging all communities to avoid targeting essential commodity transporters.
