The Coordinating Body of Tribal Unity (CoTU) has announced that it will continue the total shutdown in Manipur without granting any exemptions. This decision comes after a round of talks with the state government failed to reach a conclusive agreement.
Despite efforts to resolve the ongoing situation, the negotiations did not yield a final outcome, leading the tribal body to maintain its strict stance. The 'no exemptions' policy implies that essential services and public transport may remain disrupted as part of the protest.
