Two aircraft with life-saving drugs from Guwahati arrived in Manipur on Monday as trucks with essential supplies and petroleum products began entering Manipur, which has been cut-off by a Naga student blockade on two highways from Assam and Nagaland since April 16.
The two aircraft with life-saving drugs, which were running low in the state holding up emergency operations in hospitals, arrived at Changangei airport on Monday morning, official sources said in Imphal. Around 18 heavy and 17 light commercial vehicles carrying 220 barrels of petrol, 76 barrels of diesel and 35
More trucks are on their way to Manipur, the sources said. Official sources in Aizawl said the Mizoram government, which has accepted the appeal of neighbouring state for allowing trucks through its territory to Manipur, appointed state Joint Secretary for home T V Fambol as the nodal officer to oversee movement of essential commodities via the Silchar-Aizawl-Sinzawl-Churachandpur-Imphal road. Reports said the Border Roads Task Force personnel were assisting trucks coming from Mizoram.
