[India] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Local organizations and activists have initiated an indefinite road blockade protest at Lamshang bridge along the Uripok-Kangchup road in Manipur's Imphal West district on April 17, 2025, demanding completion of bridge construction work by authorities.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether the road blockade disrupts local transportation networks in the Imphal West region.

Watch points

• Duration and expansion of the indefinite protest, particularly if it spreads to other transportation routes in Manipur
• Government response and timeline for addressing the bridge construction demands
• Potential for similar infrastructure-related protests in other parts of the state
