Somewhere in Manipur....

Manipur, already struggling with a long agitation over the implementation of Inner Line Permit system, has now been hit by a steep rise in the prices of essential items. The Imphal-Dimapur and Imphal-Silchar highways, key supply routes to the land-locked state, have been blocked by a landslide and a damaged bridge, respectively .
A litre of petrol is selling at Rs.160-190 on the grey market in Imphal, while the prices of onion, potato, pulses, vegetables and other food items have doubled.
