Normal life hit in Manipur’s Churachandpur as tribal organisation enforces shutdown

Normal life was affected in Manipur’s Churachandpur district on Friday as activists of a tribal organisation enforced an indefinite shutdown in the district in protest against the killing of an elderly Kuki woman.

Markets and business establishments remained closed, while vehicular movement was disrupted as Indigenous Tribal Leaders Forum activists, including women, blocked several roads in the district.

The protesters with sticks in their hands demonstrated on the roads to protest against the killing of Hoikholhing Haokip in a crossfire between security forces and unknown armed miscreants.
