Imphal, October 03:
To protest deplorable condition of the Pallel-Chandel district headquarters road public carriers would cease service until the dilapidated route are repaired/developed, said a joint statement of Kha-Manipur Drivers and Motor Workers' Cooperative Society and Indo-Burma Sugnu Road Bus Owners' Welfare Union.
It may be mentioned that the former body had already announced cessation of service from october 5 onwards on the same demand.
The transport bodies also took serious note of the Commissioner (Works) cancelling an earlier work order issued by the Executive Engineer (PWD), chandel citing fund paucity.
meanwhile, expressing strong resentment at the work order being nullified by the Commissioner's order inspite of fervent appeal to revoke the same, Chandel District Contractors' Association had pledged its support to the agitation programme.
