Committee on Tribal Unity (CoTU) had been imposing economic blockades along the national highway which passes through Kangpokpi off and on.
The Committee on Tribal Unity decided during a mass rally in Kangpokpi to re-impose blockades along the National Highways No 2 and 37.
The otherwise busy National Highway-2 remained deserted as all vehicular movement remained off the road except for medical services and examinations.
The shutdown was imposed by the CoTU following the torching of three trucks belonging to Misao Gas Service and the alleged continuous attack on Kuki-Zo villages in the peripheral areas of Kangpokpi district.
The blockade on National Highway-2 came into force on May 4 as a sudden upsurge of public anger in Kangpokpi and it was the general public of Kangpokpi, who had imposed the blockade, not through a call by any CSO or the Committee of Tribal Unity.
The United People’s Front-Zomi (UPF-Zomi) stated that it has never imposed blockade on NH-2.
The time for appeal has gone past as saner elements are no longer in control of the highway blockade.
"The decision to lift the blockade on NH-2 was insensitive of COTU for its failure to take notice of the tensions at Sugnu."
