Over 700 empty trucks stranded at various places along the NH-53 from Imphal to Moidangpok Sunday proceeded Jiribam with security escorts as truck drivers suspended their one-day-old steering down strike with immediate effect following an assurance for a stronger security escort from Manipur government.
On Saturday, truck drivers refused to ply Imphal-Jiribam section of the NH-39 for procuring essential commodities due to inadequate security escort. Taking serious note of the situation, the state government invited leaders of All Manipur Road Transport and Motor Workers Union for a talk late Saturday and assured a full proof security protection by deploying additional security forces from the state as well as Central paramilitary forces, M Kullamani said when contacted over phone.
