Two militant outfits of Manipur, under Suspensions of Operation, on Sunday said they have lifted the two-month long blockade in Kangpokpi district along the crucial National Highway-2.
Issuing a joint statement, the United Peoples’ Front (UPF) and Kuki National Organisation (KNO) said the blockade has been lifted with immediate effect following “deep concern to restore peace and harmony” by Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
However, Kuki civil society group Committee on Tribal Unity (COTU), which had announced a roadblock on NH-2 two months ago, has not officially withdrawn the agitation yet.
