Imphal, April 02 2023:
At least five Moreh based organisations have appealed to the State Government to lift the restriction placed on transportation of goods and items by Assam Rifles at Khudengthabi checkpost.
A joint statement issued by Hill Tribal Council, Moreh; Meitei Council Moreh, Tamil Sangam Moreh, Manipur Muslim Council Moreh and Gorkha Samaj Sewa Samiti said that the Assam Rifles in compliance with the Government order placed a total restriction on transportation of timber, construction materials etc.
Saying that the restriction has made many people jobless as it halts the economic activities of the local population and people from other areas, the joint statement asked how long people can survive without work.
Even movement of vehicles carrying wedding gift material have been restricted, they claimed and appealed to the authority concerned to solve their grievances.
