Manipur Tribal Groups Shut Down Highways After Fatal Shooting

Following the deadly encounter in Bitiyang, tribal representatives from four Naga communities announced an emergency shutdown of all national highways, railway lines, and other major projects that pass through their territories. The decision was taken to protest the alleged attack on Naga Village Guard members and to demand an immediate halt to security operations in the area. The shutdown affects key transport corridors in the region, adding pressure on the state government to address the community's grievances.
