Assam trucks stop plying to Nagaland
Nagaland Post | IANS | Guwahati/ Diphu, Mar 7:
Truckers in Assam on Saturday have stopped plying their vehicles to Dimapur and other parts of Nagaland in protest against the lynching of the rape accused. At least 17 truckers’ bodies in Assam said on Saturday that the protest will continue until the victims’ family gets justice.
“The killing of Syed Farid Khan, a Dimapur based businessman from Assam, is an inhuman act. The Nagaland government must provide adequate compensation to the family of the victim and ensure that no other traders or businessman of Assam is harassed in Nagaland,” said a member of the All Assam Truck Owners’ Association.
“Apart from paying the mandatory tax to the government of Nagaland, we have to pay to all the militant outfits in different locations while ferrying goods including essential commodities. We have intimated this to the authorities in Nagaland as well as in Assam several times. However, nothing have changed,” he said.
