Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) today suspended its eight-day-long total blockade of all Manipur-bound vehicles with immediate effect, taking into consideration the assurance of the Manipur government and the Centre’s request.
NSF president Subenthung Kithan and assistant general secretary Kesosul Christopher Ltu said the decision was taken in view of the communiqué received from the Chief Secretary of Manipur through the Chief Secretary of Nagaland with assurance to provide safety and security to Nagas in Manipur.
Centre’s appeal
The repeated requests and appeal from the Centre made through the interlocutor for Naga Peace Talk, RN Ravi, to lift the total blockade was also considered, they said in a release.
Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh had told Nagaland Chief Minister TR Zeliang on December 23 to ensure that there is no disturbance in movement of vehicles passing through the state following reports of NSF’s blockade.
