Who gave anyone the authority to tear apart a national highway built and maintained for the benefit of the public? While government and highway construction agencies are investing time, resources, and effort to improve connectivity, Kukis have chosen destruction over development.
The destruction of NH-202 at Shangkai Kuki village through the use of excavators is not an act of protest - it is an act of sabotage against the very people who depend on this road every day. NH-202 is the lifeline of Ukhrul. It connects communities, enables trade, provides access to healthcare, education, and essential services.
The authorities must identify those responsible and take strict legal action. Public infrastructure cannot be held hostage by anyone.
