About 150 goods-laden trucks are stuck between Assam via Imphal via Dimapur in Nagaland between Khuzama (Nagaland) and Mao Gate (Manipur).

Several vehicles have also been stopped in Mao Tadubi, Lairouching and Mayangkhang areas of Manipur’s Senapati district.
In solidarity with ANSAM’s agitation, several student organizations have expressed their support, including Senapati District Students’ Association (SDSA), Rongmei Naga Students’ Organization Manipur (RNSOM), Tangkhul Katamnao Saklong (TKS). , and Naga Students and Union Chandel (NSUC).
Amid the ongoing crisis, the Manipur government has extended the suspension of mobile internet services for another five days, with effect from 5 November 2023 at 7:45 PM.
Despite the blockade, Manipur Police reported that the movement of 238 vehicles carrying essential items along NH-102 was facilitated on Saturday.
Strict security measures have been implemented at all sensitive locations, and security convoys have been deployed at sensitive locations to ensure free and safe movement of vehicles.
