Manipur's NH-37 Blockade Intensifies After Arrest of Five Naga Women
An economic blockade along Manipur's NH-37, initiated by the United Naga Council demanding justice for six killed Liangmai Naga men, has intensified after the alleged arrest of five Naga women by a CRPF CoBRA team in Noney district. The Joint Tribes Council-Manipur condemned the arrests and called for their release, prompting a shutdown of NH-37 and central projects. Security forces have been deployed amid stone-pelting attacks on convoys, disrupting essential supplies and raising tensions in the region.
