Manipur is not new to the politics of blockade. If politics is considered a dirty calling by quite a large number of people, nothing can be dirtier and more dangerous than this brand of politics. Manipur has seen enough blockade to understand how dangerous it can be. The present economic blockade imposed by the United Naga Council is not an exception and the seeds of divide that this has spawned can be understood in the context of how this has given birth to what is called the counter blockade and how it has gone from targeting goods laden trucks on the National Highways to personal belongings of passengers, best exemplified by what happened on the Imphal-Ukhrul road at Khurai on December 18 and the destruction spree at Khumbong. Something which all those who stand against the idea of Manipur as a social and political entity may want and this is something which no one should forget. The politics that is being played out has now moved from the National Highways with the State Government and the Union Government seemingly at logger heads with one another, a point which is best exemplified by the strongly worded letter written by Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh to Chief Minister O Ibobi a few days back. Law and order is a State subject and it is the duty of the State Government to ensure that the basic amenities reach the people of Manipur, is the line that has been maintained by the Centre. The Union Home Minister topped this off with the claim that the Centre has made available enough Central forces to assist the local forces to keep NH-2 open.

The recent events in Manipur – the State Government’s announcements regarding the formation of new districts in predominantly tribal populated hill areas and the retaliation by the so-called United Naga Council through the imposition of an economic blockade targeted at the denizens of the predominantly Meitei community populated Imphal Valley have hardly attracted significant attention in the mainstream Indian and international press. The responses of the Government of India and its nodal ministries have also been lethargic, to say the least.

The United Naga Council (UNC) has imposed an indefinite economic blockade on the national highways in Manipur against the State Government’s move to create Sadar Hills and Jiribam districts. The Council is also banning implementation of national projects in the Naga territories in Manipur including Trans Asian Railways. The two month long economic blockade (as on 25-12-2016) has snapped the National Highway – 2 (Imphal – Dimapur stretch) and the National Highway-37 (Imphal – Jiribam stretch), thereby causing acute scarcity of essential commodities in the state. As the blockade supporters often attack the goods trucks, the All Manipur Petroleum Products Transporters’ Association resorted to cease work strike. Fuel stations run dry, and petroleum products are being sold in grey market at Rs 150 a litre.

The Constitutional Assembly left this aspect to the wisdom of the state legislature and hence is categorised in the state lists. Thus from this perspective, the state government is well within its ambit and hence doesn’t violate any law and practice.
