Manipur's Chief Minister addressed the media on Thursday, urging all stakeholders to desist from organising bandhs and road blockades across the state. The appeal came amid a series of disruptions that have affected daily commuting and trade routes in several districts.
He highlighted that such actions not only inconvenience ordinary citizens but also hamper the flow of essential goods, potentially escalating economic setbacks for local businesses and the state treasury.
The CM called for dialogue and peaceful protest within the framework of law, emphasizing that grievances should be voiced through democratic channels rather than through disruptive shutdowns.
Authorities have pledged to engage with community leaders to address underlying issues while ensuring that law and order are maintained.
