Manipur Governor Najma Heptulla today appealed to all stakeholders to withdraw the ongoing over three-month long economic blockade at the earliest as it is causing hardship to the common people.
"The blockade is causing tremendous hardship to the people of the state irrespective of ethnicity," she told PTI here.
Everyone should come together to find a solution to the situation faced by the people of the landlocked state, Heptulla said.
