Wohl eine Folge der Naxaliten-Aktivitäten und des angekündigten neuen Versuchs, das Terror-Problem in den Griff zu kriegen, auch wenn die Naga im eigentlichen Sinne keine Maoisten sind.

India sending troops to end Manipur tribal blockade

The Indian government is sending federal paramilitary troops to the north-eastern state of Manipur to lift a blockade by tribal groups.

The two-month blockade of main roads has led to severe shortages of food and medical supplies and soaring prices. Naga tribal groups oppose a government decision preventing Naga separatist leader Thuingaleng Muivah from visiting his birthplace in the troubled state. Naga rebels have been campaigning for decades for a separate homeland.
