A Kuki women’s organization has filed a petition with the Supreme Court seeking an end to the prolonged National Highway blockades in Manipur that have disrupted traffic and commerce.
The National Highways in Manipur have been blocked for months by armed groups, causing severe disruptions to trade and daily commutes. In response, a Kuki women’s body has approached the Supreme Court, demanding that authorities intervene to lift the blockades and restore normal traffic flow. The petition cites violations of constitutional rights and economic losses suffered by residents and businesses. If the Court orders action, it could compel security forces to secure the highways and negotiate with the groups responsible for the blockades.
