Imphal: Manipur continues to suffer as the economic blockade
entered its 90th day on Sunday. Essential commodities have been in short
supply for the last three months and this has pushed prices up sharply.
An LPG cylinder costs over Rs 2,000 while petrol has touched Rs 140 rupees per litre. Black marketing has become rampant.
The crisis began on August 1 when the United Naga Committee
opposed the Kuki demand to turn Sadar Hills into a full-fledged
district.
