  "summary": "The United Naga Council (UNC) has agreed to temporarily lift its economic blockade of Manipur's highways following a tripartite meeting with the Centre and the Manipur government in Assam. UNC president Ng. Lorho informed The Indian Express that the government will address the demands of the UNC, including revoking the Suspension of Operations agreements, removing Deputy Chief Minister Nemcha Kipgen, and ensuring justice for the six Naga men killed. The blockade, which began on June 11 and escalated on September 9, severely disrupted the movement of goods on National Highways 2, 37, 202, and 102A, causing shortages of essential commodities across Manipur.",
