ProMASS: Dec 1, 2016: In Manipur, blockade supporters have vandalised around 30 loaded trucks and tankers heading for Imphal along National Highway-53 from Jiribam town in Manipur. Police said yesterday, the destruction of the trucks took place mainly in the town of Noney in the Naga-dominated hill district of Tamenglong of the landlocked state.
The trucks numbering around 500 had to stop while they were on their way to the state capital after large number of blockade supporters forcibly stopped them.
