A sudden total shutdown, called by Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM) on May 13, has been extended. More than 600 trucks, buses, and wingers have remained stranded for the past five days along National Highway -2, especially between Khongnem and T.Khullen in Senapati district of Manipur.
The shutdown has brought all movement along the highway to a complete standstill. Drivers, passengers, and transport workers have been trapped for days under increasingly difficult situations.Those stranded are reportedly facing acute shortages of food, drinking water, essential supplies and sanitation facilities.
Elderly travelers are reportedly enduring significant hardship as access to basic necessities continues to dwindle. Transport operators have also expressed about their inconveniences over the prolonged disruption, warning that the situation could worsen if immediate assistance is not provided to the stranded passengers and drivers.
The stranded individuals have appealed to the concerned authorities for urgent intervention to restore normal movement along the highway and ensure safe passage for stranded vehicles and commuters.
