# Supreme Court seeks end to Manipur highway blockades 2026-08-15T06:46:48+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Supreme Court on Friday directed groups involved in Manipur’s highway blockades to stop the “blockade war” and work together to restore supplies. The bench, headed by Chief Justice Surya Kant, was hearing a plea by the Kuki Women Organisation for Human Rights, which said NH-2 and routes to Kangpokpi had been blocked by Naga groups, disrupting food and healthcare. An Imphal-based Meitei NGO disputed the claim and alleged that Kuki groups had blocked major highways since May 2023. The court issued notices to the Centre, Manipur government and NHAI. It asked all parties to suggest a plan to reopen the highways without blame games and listed the matter after two weeks. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Kangpokpi, Kuki Women Organisation for Human Rights, Manipur, NHAI, Supreme Court Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/supreme-court-seeks-end-to-manipur-highway-blockades/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
