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.
\nOn 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.
\nDemanding the returning of the confiscated weapons and condemning the incident, the KNO had announced to call the indefinite blockade.
\nKNO\u2019s Sinai Camp information secretary Helen Kipgen informed this evening that the outfit\u2019s decision to impose the indefinite blockade was reviewed today considering the public\u2019s sentiment.
\n\u201cWe 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,\u201d cautions the KNO leader.<\/p>\n\n
