On the completion of three months of economic blockade

United Naga Council deserves three rounds of cheers as the ongoing economic blockade has almost completed three months. Imagine three months of economic blockade by a civil society organization like UNC in a state like Manipur which is already downtrodden with various other issues. Imagine a gross violation of human rights (of lakhs of people) incessantly going on without any timely intervention by any competent authority. Imagine the hoi polloi silently suffering for all these months without any clue why they are suffering. It seems majority of the people in Manipur are currently drugged which is why they happily succumb to the situation. Or are they under a false hope that the ‘sarkaar’ will do something soon and that normal days will be back again?
