The ongoing communal riots and tensions in Manipur are at their peak, while the prolonged blockade on the state’s national highway has disrupted vital supplies in the area, causing severe difficulties in the movement of goods.
According to Indian media reports, the blockade in Chorachandpur, where the Kuki-Zu community lives and the capital Imphal has been severely affected economically by the situation, has led to an increase in the prices of essential commodities being transported through Mizoram routes.
Concerned locals say the blockade has also led to a severe shortage of medical supplies.
According to experts, the blockade is linked to communal tensions and clashes, which is further complicating the growing economic crisis in the area.
A local resident said that the blockade has increased the prices of commodities and the situation is extremely worrying.
Locals have appealed to the ethnic communities for understanding so that the situation can return to normal. There are also reports on social media of price increases and shortages due to the blockade and communal violence.
