The demand for the inclusion of Naga villages in Churachandpur and Kangpokpi districts of Manipur into the Noney district has grown louder with the Rongmei Naga Council, announcing an indefinite blockade starting at midnight tonight.

The Rongmei Naga Council Manipur – Ntayphay Luangrian (RNCM- NTL), a zonal civil organisation affiliated under the Rongmei Naga Council Manipur, has announced the indefinite total shutdown along NH-37 connecting Imphal – Jiribam Road, Tongjei Maril Road connecting Bisnupur – Khoupum – Rengpang Road and the Leimatak Loktak Project Road.
The organisation said that during the bandh, exceptions will be made for medical emergencies, essential public services, and educational purposes.
Individuals facing medical emergencies or those carrying necessary documentation will be permitted to pass through the blockade.
According to the RNCM, minority tribes in Kangpokpi and Churachandpur, face inconveniences while travelling to their respective District headquarters.
