What are the reasons behind the re-imposition of the blockade on NH-2 by the Kuki tribal body

The Kuki tribal body plans to re-impose the blockade on NH-2, but what are the factors driving this decision?

Factors behind the decision of the Kuki tribal body to re-impose the blockade on NH-2:

  • Land disputes:

    One of the major factors is the ongoing land dispute between the Kuki tribe and the government. The Kuki tribe believes that their ancestral land has been encroached upon by the government, leading to resentment and the demand for land rights.
  • Political representation:

    The Kuki tribe alleges inadequate political representation in the government. They feel marginalized and believe that their community's interests are not adequately addressed. The re-imposition of the blockade is a way to draw attention to their demands for better representation.
  • Lack of infrastructure development:

    The Kuki tribe also asserts that the government has neglected their region in terms of development, especially in regard to infrastructure. They argue that the blockade will force the government to prioritize the development of NH-2 and other necessary amenities.
  • Historical grievances:

    Deep-seated historical grievances and unresolved issues contribute to the decision. The Kuki tribe points to past instances of discrimination and marginalization, seeking redress through the blockade.
  • Protest against the government's actions:

    The blockade is a mode of protest against alleged government insensitivity and inaction towards the concerns of the Kuki tribe. It serves as a tool to pressure the government to address their demands.
