During the course of a high-level meeting, he said, “Free movement must be ensured for people on all roads in Manipur from March 8, and strict action be taken against anyone attempting to create obstructions.”
“The Union government remains fully committed to restoring lasting peace in Manipur and providing all necessary assistance in this regard,” Amit Shah added.
