Economic blockade cripples normal life in Manipur

Normal life continued to be affected on Wednesday due to an economic blockade called by the United Naga Council (UNC) in Imphal. Though paramilitary forces have started bringing in essential commodities and petroleum products into the region, locals are still concerned about the high prices of food items. In the meantime, frequent incidents of landslide on the national highway-39 at Mao, Maram, Tadubi of Senapati District and at different places of Nagaland has also become a big hindrance in the free flow of the essential commodities and petroleum products in the region.
