Naga blockade bites
Police in Manipur say trucks carrying food and fuel have been stopped and looted by supporters of Naga separatists.

They also say bus passengers going to Manipur have been beaten up if they have been carrying food.

The action is part of an economic blockade of Manipur by six Nagaland separatist organisations.

The blockade was imposed on Saturday in protest against a decision by the Indian government not to extend a ceasefire agreement with the Naga separatist group, the National Socialist Council of Nagaland.
