Supreme Court Urges Manipur’s Kuki and Meitei Groups to Restore Peace and Reopen Highways
The Supreme Court of India urged the Kuki and Meitei communities in Manipur to restore peace and reopen blocked highways, emphasizing that road blockades harm all residents by disrupting essential supplies. The bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, called for a comprehensive plan to reopen all highways, rejecting piecemeal solutions. The court sought details on blocked roads within two weeks and involved the Centre and National Highway Authority of India to address the ongoing ethnic violence and its impact on transportation.
