Imphal, Jan. 13 -- Koubru Range Liangmai Women Union has lifted the indefinite blockade on the Churachandpur-Kangpokpi Road in Manipur for 72 hours, effective noon on Monday.

The decision follows a request from the Leimangkhong Area Protection Committee (LAPC) and the Leimakhong Area Chief Organisation (LACO) of Manipur on humanitarian grounds.

The blockade began after the January 7 incident, where Kuki miscreants allegedly assaulted and outraged a Naga woman from the Konsaram community at K. Lungwiram under Kangchup Geljang Sub-Division in Kangpokpi district.

The Liangmai Naga Council Eastern Zone stated that the 72-hour period provides time for authorities to take responsibility and surrender those responsible for the assault.
