the deadlock of Manipur continues as the economic blockade imposed on National Highways (NHs) 2 and 37 by the United Naga Council (UNC) had entered its third month, reports The Shillong Times on January 2. The report said that the situation had remained unchanged as Manipur Chief Minister (CM) Okram Ibobi Singh and the UNC were not budging from their respective stands over the issues of creating new Districts. On the contrary, Ibobi Singh said that first the UNC should call off the blockade and give an assurance that it would not be repeated; only after that talks would be possible and Gaidon Kamei and Stephen Lamkang, two UNC leaders, might be released. The Manipur Government also rejected the UNC’s demand of conducting the talk by going the Government officials in the District headquarters of Senapati District. Earlier, Kiren Rijiju, the Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, said that the Manipur Government was not serious about ending the blockade. However CM Ibobi Singh denied it saying that there was no question of playing politics since it is a question of starving the people of the State.

Manipur Chief Minister (CM) Okram Ibobi Singh on January 4 met President Pranab Mukherjee to discuss the Union Ministry of Home Affairs’ (UMHA) report to the Election Commission (EC) that termed the law-and-order situation in the state as “grave”, reports The Shillong Times. Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Singh rubbished the report saying it “wrongly” concluded that the prevailing situation was “not conducive” to conduct free-and-fair polls there. However, just ahead of Ibobi’s meeting with the President, the EC declared that the Assembly election will be held in two phases — on March 4 and 8 — in Manipur. Ibobi, later, welcomed the decision. The CM said issues such as insurgency, blockades, strikes are not unique to Manipur but they affect the entire north-east and that even in 2012, the state Assembly polls were boycotted by hill and valley-based underground organisations including the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and the United National Liberation Front (UNLF).

Naga Council (UNC) - apex body of the Nagas based in Manipur - on January 4 said they would continue with the economic blockade despite the announcement of Manipur assembly elections by the Election Commission, adds The Shillong Times. According to the UNC, elections cannot be held peacefully in the Naga-inhabited areas of Manipur until the prevailing problems are resolved. “The blockade will continue. Solving of Manipur’s problems has to be done through dialogue between the parties in conflict. So far, the government of Manipur has failed to respond politically. We have no other option but to intensify the blockade, no matter what the Election Commission has announced regarding the polls in the state,” K.S. Paul, former President of the UNC, said. Paul - an active member of the UNC -said the Manipur Government has betrayed the Nagas of Manipur. “We have been betrayed by the Manipur government, as it did not consult us on the creation of seven new districts out of our ancestral land. We do not know whether the situation will be conducive for holding free and fair elections in the Naga areas of the state,” said Paul.

the United Kuki Liberation Front (UKLF) on January 5 categorically stated that it was not involved in any manner in the ambush against State Police ahead of Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh’s visit to Tengnoupal (Tengnoupal District) near Lokchao along Imphal-Moreh highway on December 15, reports The Sangai Express. Speaking to a team of media persons at an undisclosed location in Chandel district on January 5, UKLF ‘home secretary’ Daniel Thadou said that the Kuki National Liberation Front (KNLF) ‘chairman’ had merged with the UNLF on his own volition. Daniel contended that the UKLF was not involved in the Lokchao ambush, and the State Police and its intelligence agencies would know the truth.Earlier KNLF ‘general secretary’ Lalmoi Haokip alleged that the Lokchao ambush was carried out by UKLF at the instruction of Isak-Muivah faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-IM). Flatly rejecting Lalmoi’s allegation, Daniel said that the same allegation was baseless and fabricated. The UKLF has a suspicion that the Lokchao ambush was carried out by a gang of criminals led by Lalmoi, Daniel said.

In the statement, NSCN-IM said that such ‘artificial boundary fencing imposed upon the Naga people’ was against the will of the people and was gross violation of human rights.

The Chairman of Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) and interlocutor for the Naga peace-talks, Mr R. N. Ravi on February 10 said that ongoing economic blockade in Manipur may have an impact on the peace-talks, reports Asian Age. JIC Chairman RN Ravi said, “The Naga issue can’t be dealt in political isolation. Naga neighbours are important stakeholders. A durable solution is not possible by disregarding neighbours’ sentiment and confrontational attitude towards them.” The news report further adds that over the stubborn attitude displayed by the Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak- Muivah (NSCN-IM) over Manipur, Mr Ravi had said, “It is bound to impact the tenor and character of further talks with NSCN-IM.”Notably, the Manipur based United Naga Council (UNC) is spearheading the economic blockade in the State for over three months and two rounds of meetings with the stakeholders to resolve the crisis has failed to elicit any result. UNC is protesting against creation of seven new Districts in the State of Manipur.

The Central Reserve Police Force's (CRPF) top brass are keeping their fingers crossed hoping that no major ambush is carried out by insurgents on its personnel deployed in the State, reports The Telegraph on March 3.Sources within the CRPF have said that the personnel were fighting with their backs to the wall following the Union Home Ministry's (UHM) refusal to provide them mine-protected vehicles and other enhanced security infrastructure despite intelligence inputs of possible attacks on Security Forces by insurgent groups.In January, 2017, the CRPF had alerted the UHM on how the "conduct of the Assembly election will be critical and challenging both from the insurgency and law and order point of view", considering the economic blockade on National Highways 2 and 37 since November 1 against the Okram Ibobi Singh Government's plan to create seven new Districts. "Intelligence input indicates infiltration of insurgent groups from Myanmar and other areas to attack security forces and disrupt the election process. To counter the threat of IEDs from insurgents during the elections, 10 mine-protected vehicles are required in the vulnerable and critical areas," the CRPF had written to the ministry. Besides, CRPF had also asked for 20 bunker vehicles, additional bomb detection and disposal squads and satellite phones.

The Supreme Court on July 14 directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to probe 98 cases of extra-judicial killings in Manipur by State Police and Security Forces and fixed a deadline of December 31 for registering the First Information Reports (FIR) s, completion of investigation and filing of charge sheets in appropriate cases, reports The Telegraph. The apex court passed the direction saying no member of the Manipur Police shall be part of the Special investigating Team (SIT) to be constituted by the CBI for the probe as the allegations are mostly against the local Police and in most cases FIRs were lodged against the deceased instead of the accused Police/security personnel. "We are of the opinion that it would be appropriate if the CBI is required to look into these fake encounters or use of excessive or retaliatory force. Accordingly, the director of the CBI is directed to nominate a group of five officers to go through the records of the cases mentioned in three tables, lodge necessary FIRs and complete the investigations into the same by December 31, 2017, and prepare charge sheets, wherever necessary," a bench of Justices Madan B. Lokur and U.U. Lalit said.
