Kuki-Zo Community Launches Counter-Economic Blockade in Manipur

The Kuki‑Zo community in Manipur has launched a counter‑economic blockade aimed at pressuring the state government to secure essential supplies for the region. The protest, organised by local leaders, involves blocking key transport routes and restricting movement of goods. Participants have called on authorities to guarantee the availability of food, medicine and other necessities. The blockade is part of a broader campaign by the community to address long‑standing grievances over resource allocation. Authorities have yet to respond formally to the demands.
