Tension flared on the Imphal West-Kangpokpi border as Kukis attempted to march towards Namdilong, protesting a prolonged economic blockade by Naga groups. Security forces intervened, preventing the march. The blockade, enforced by Naga organizations seeking justice for six slain civilians, has severely impacted essential supplies to Kangpokpi. Both communities remain on edge amidst escalating demands for action and justice.
