Kohima, June 14: Hours after the Centre decided to send security forces to remove the 65-day-old blockade of the two national highways causing severe shortage of essential commodities in Manipur, the Naga groups announced temporary suspension of their stir from tomorrow.
The Naga Student Federation has decided to temporarily suspend the blockade of NH-39 and NH-53 responding to appeals by various individuals and groups, a release issued by NSF vice president Sinhilo Thong and general secretary Wati Jamir said today.
However, the NSF would resume its agitation if the Manipur government failed to fulfill its demands in toto, the release said.
NSF would extend “all logical support” to All Naga Students’ Association (ANSAM) and United Naga Council (UNC) in the stir, it said.
