Manipur: The Committee on Tribal Unity (CoTU) has strongly denounced the indefinite blockade imposed by Konsakhul villagers along the vital Kangpokpi-Churachandpur road in Manipur.
This key route, crucial for the Kuki-Zo community, has been blocked due to an ongoing land dispute with Leilon Vaiphei Village.

Following the violent unrest from May 3, 2023, the community has been working relentlessly to restore connectivity.
