<h1>Tribal Body's Economic Blockade in Manipur Protests Security Force Actions; Demands Compensation for Injured Women.</h1> An economic blockade by a tribal body is ongoing in Kuki-Zo areas of Manipur to protest alleged security force actions against women in Kangpokpi district. The Committee on Tribal Unity also enforced a 24-hour shutdown following a reported baton charge on women in Saibol village. The Kuki-Zo Council initiated the blockade, restricting movement and essential supplies, demanding compensation for injured women. Tensions rose after a clash between Kuki-Zo women and security forces. The council threatens further action if demands are unmet and supports CoTU's call for central force withdrawal, amidst ongoing ethnic violence in the state.
