Attack stalls Imphal-Moreh service
Times of India | TNN | Sep 25, 2011, 11.30AM IST
Irate transporters, operating between Imphal and the border town of Moreh, stopped service from Saturday in protest against an attack on their vehicles on Friday night with stones and clubs, which left a driver critically injured and damaged around 50 loaded taxis in the Naga-dominated Thamnapokpi area along the National Highway in Chandel district.
The ill-fated vehicles, some of which were loaded with essential commodities of Myanmarese and Chinese origin, were coming from the border town towards Imphal when a large number of economic blockade supporters suddenly started raining stones and attacked the vehicles with clubs at about 8 pm.
"Until the government provides full proof security to the vehicles along the route, in Thamnapokpi area in particular, and bears all expenses being incurred by the injured driver and compensates for the damaged vehicles, we will not ply along the route," said a key leader of the Joint Action Committee (JAC) of Imphal-Moreh transporters. The JAC has decided to stop operating the service with immediate effect after an emergency meeting, he said.
