Manipur: United Naga Council has called for a 48-hour general strike in the hill districts of Manipur demanding separate administrative control of Naga-dominated areas
The United Naga Council said, there was lack of positive response and sincerity from the Centre on their demand for separate arrangement beyond the control of the Manipur government as they don't want to stay under the "communal Manipur government".
The demand for the alternative arrangement was made by United Naga Council on August 31, 2012 and there have been six rounds of talks since then.
The strike will begun from Thursday night. The two highways, which are the lifelines of Manipur, pass through the mountains dominated by the Nagas.
No bus, truck and private vehicle can ply on these highways during the strike.
