Imphal, February 16:
In connection with the ongoing hands-off steering agitation being launched by the All Manipur Petroleum Tanker Drivers' Union in the State, the transporters have made their stand clear by maintaining that they would always extend support to demands of the drivers if they were genuine.
Addressing a press conference in this connection at Manipur Press Club here today, the transporters pointed out that the demands like proper parking space, toilet facilities, drinking water facilities, etc are genuine and so they would extend support for fulfilment of these demands.
However, as to the demand of transferring depot manager and supervisor, the matter is in the hands of the IOC officials, they said, while expressing unhappiness over the failure of the drivers to take them into confidence before launching any agitation.
