Normal life in Manipur was partially affected as a result of the indefinite road blockade imposed by Meitei women from September 18 morning, demanding the unconditional release of the five youths arrested by the police commandos some days back.
All national highways and inter district major roads were blocked by the women at many places.
One woman activist told The Hindu that the five arrested youths were among the village protection volunteers guarding the villages against the Kuki militants.
