Manipur : Amit Shah appeals to lift blockades of National Highway, Cong MLA house burnt

Guwahati: Union Home minister Amit Shah on Sunday appealed to the people of the state to lift the blockades from National Highway-2 so that essential items, transport fuel and medicines can be ferried to the state without any troubles.

“My sincerest appeal to the people of Manipur is to lift the blockades at the Imphal-Dimapur, NH-2 Highway, so that food, medicines, petrol, diesel, and other necessary items can reach the people,” Shah tweeted.

“I also request that Civil Society Organisations do the needful in bringing consensus. Together only we can restore normalcy in this beautiful stat,” he said.

In a fresh incident of violence, the Kuki militants burnt down the residence of former minister and sitting Congress MLA K. Ranjit in Kakching district late on Saturday night.

Massive combing operations are underway following the attack on the residence of the MLA.

The landlocked Manipur has two vital National Highways — Imphal-Dimapur (through Nagaland) and Imphal-Jiribam (through southern Assam) – to ferry essentials, food grains, transport fuel, cooking gas, medicines and other materials from different parts of the country.

The Army, Assam Rifles, various Central Armed Police Force, state police and Manipur Rifles personnel have continued their vigil and operations in all the 11 trouble-torn districts.
