The proposed indefinite blockade of Imphal-Ukhrul road to be affected from 6 pm today by Kuki National Organisation (KNO) has been called off this evening itself.
On June 8, cadres of NSCN-IM allegedly assaulted some cadres of KNO at Mahadev Lamkhai along Imphal-Ukhrul road and confiscated some weapons of the latter group.
Demanding the returning of the confiscated weapons and condemning the incident, the KNO had announced to call the indefinite blockade.
KNO’s Sinai Camp information secretary Helen Kipgen informed this evening that the outfit’s decision to impose the indefinite blockade was reviewed today considering the public’s sentiment.
“We have decided not to impose the indefinite blockade along the Imphal-Ukhrul road considering the hardship it will cause to the public but in the event of any element disregarding and belittling the KNO in future will be dealt with drastic action,” cautions the KNO leader.
