The United Naga Council has temporarily suspended the ongoing ‘Trade Embargo’ in Naga areas with effect from 6 p.m. of September 11, 2025.

The decision was taken in an emergency presidential council meeting today at Tahamzam following the  receipt of a letter from Government of Manipur for resumption of tripartite meeting of the UNC with the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Government of Manipur on the issue of abrogation of Free Movement Regime and border fencing along the Indo-Myanmar border in Naga areas.

The meeting appreciated the Government’s acknowledgement of the past engagement of the UNC and the MHA and also their confirmation of receipt of memoranda/representation on the same issue.

The meeting also lauded the assurance of the Government that there would be prior consultation with the UNC and other stakeholders before the stated works are taken up.
