the deadlock of Manipur continues as the economic blockade imposed on National Highways (NHs) 2 and 37 by the United Naga Council (UNC) had entered its third month, reports The Shillong Times on January 2. The report said that the situation had remained unchanged as Manipur Chief Minister (CM) Okram Ibobi Singh and the UNC were not budging from their respective stands over the issues of creating new Districts. On the contrary, Ibobi Singh said that first the UNC should call off the blockade and give an assurance that it would not be repeated; only after that talks would be possible and Gaidon Kamei and Stephen Lamkang, two UNC leaders, might be released. The Manipur Government also rejected the UNC’s demand of conducting the talk by going the Government officials in the District headquarters of Senapati District. Earlier, Kiren Rijiju, the Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, said that the Manipur Government was not serious about ending the blockade. However CM Ibobi Singh denied it saying that there was no question of playing politics since it is a question of starving the people of the State.
