It added that Highway Protection Force should be implemented to prevent the illegal taxation and other ‘unlawful activities’ on the inter-state national highways.
Stressing on the adversities caused by the blockade NH-39, which is the life-line that connects Imphal and Dimapur, on the socio-economy and the public of the state, AMSU stated that the state government should notify the central government on the gravity of the situation, while pressuring the Nagaland government to resolve the issue promptly.
Stating that the blockade of national highway had been ruled as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, it accused the SAPO for spreading false propaganda about the Manipur-Nagaland boundary map.
