Imphal, April 18 2015 :
All Manipur VDF Welfare Association (AMVWA) has claimed that seven loaded trucks, which were coming from Guwahati side, were damaged at Kalapahar in Senapati district during the economic blockade clamped by the association yesterday.
In a statement, the association said that while around 100 trucks were forced to return to Imphal, many others were stranded on the way.
On the other hand, association members forced around 40 loaded trucks to return towards Jiribam from Nungba in Tamenglong district, the statement added.
Saying that the State Government must be responsible for the damage received by truck owners and drivers, the statement expressed deep concern over forceful putting of some section of VDF personnel on duty by some police officers.
The association thanked all the bodies which extended support to the ongoing stir.
