Kanggui, February 07 2014 :
Passenger buses along Imphal-Senapati stretch of NH-2 ceased service for the past two days landing the public to tremendous hardship.
A source informed that the Bus Association of Senapati, Kanggui and Motbung ceased passenger service and stayed off the road for the past two days due to monetary demand of Rs 5 lakh to the associations by suspected KNO/KRA.
Unable to pay the amount, passenger buses under the associations stayed off the road.
In the meantime, one responsible leader of Kuki Revolutionary Army (KRA) today said that a monetary demand has been placed to the bus association but considering the tremendous hardship, the outfit asked the association to resume their daily services.
The leader further said that though the outfit asked the association to resume their service they are not willing to resume, adding that the buses associations have some hidden agenda behind this.
Washing off its hand, the KRA leader said that the outfit has nothing to do with the ceasing of passenger bus services along the highway.
"If they, even after the green signal to resume their service, are not willing to take the road the associations will be held responsible for all the misery of the public", said the KRA leader.
