Security Forces in Manipur Remove Illegal Barricades set up by Village Volunteers

Published on: February 17, 2025 - The illegal check posts at Churachandpur district was set up by village volunteers of Kuki-Zo community on National Highway 2 in May 2023, when violence first struck the state, to prevent entry of Meiteis from Imphal and Bishnupur valley districts. This is the first time in the last 21 months that forces have managed to dismantle the checkposts to take control of the area to ensure free movement of vehicles.  The Manipur police said forces have taken over the area as the security situation has improved, and will now ensure free movement of civilian vehicles.
