Manipur’s crisis deepens as ethnic violence, highway blockades, and floods cripple supplies in Churachandpur and Imphal. Blocked highways force trucks onto costly detours, driving inflation and creating medicine shortages. Vendors suffer losses, families struggle for essentials. Locals now urge peace, unity, and free movement of goods to restore normalcy.

00:09severe economic hardship and rising inflation since the onset of ethnic clashes on 3rd May
00:162023. The primary cause has been prolonged blockades and restricted movement along national
00:23highways 2 and 37, which served as lifelines connecting Manipur with neighbouring Assam
00:31and Nagaland. The delayed and limited supply of essential commodities, especially life-saving
00:38medicines has crippled daily life in Churachanpur, leaving the community in a state of deep uncertainty
00:46and struggle.
00:48The price of all commodities has increased because it's all coming to the middle of the

01:19Goods-laden trucks bound for Churachanpur are taking longer routes through Mizoram instead
01:26of coming directly from Imphal, leading to a significant increase in transportation costs.
01:33This price hike is not artificially engineered by the shopkeepers or the companies in the district.
01:45It is because of the transportation, extra transportation costs that they incur. For instance, when potatoes or eggs are brought from Gohati to Shilchar, Shilchar to Aizol, Aizol to Tresol, to Tresol, to Tresol, to Tresol, to Tresol.
02:03It takes 3-4 days in rainy season. For the past few months, we have been getting a few supplies from Imphal Road, but under tight security.
02:18And this brings down the price a little bit. But then most traders are scared to travel through that road or take their chances in bringing goods.
02:30Not only those living in the hills are affected, people in Imphal are also facing severe hardships due to frequent blockades and restrictions on the national highways.
02:42The capital city is experiencing high inflation driven by disruptions to the free movement of trucks and other vehicles transporting essential goods.
02:52The situation has further deteriorated during the floods, which have severely impacted rescue and relief operations by government and humanitarian agencies.
03:04It's a lot of difficulties because of the inflation.
03:14The flood has been affected by last year and the flood had mentioned before.
03:20we are also affected by the flood because of the water and the water and the water
03:28has increased.
03:31The price has increased and increased by the price.
03:38The price has increased.
03:43The people of Manipur have been enduring immense hardship, first due to ethnic violence and
04:06now because of the restricted movement of goods and vehicles across the state.
04:12Manipur urgently needs its peace and unity among its diverse ethnic communities
04:18to restore normalcy and ease the burden on its citizens.
