Imphal, May 29 2015 :
In a major goof-up, the State Transport Department has not been able to provide the required number of vehicles to the officials concerned of the upcoming ADC election to be held on June 1 .
District transport officials waited for hours at Palace Compound, where the State Transport Department has been distributing vehicles for the election today.
However, many of them returned with a few vehicles as the number of vehicles fell short.
An official from a hill district said that they might not be able to send election officials and security personnel to different polling stations on time as they have not got the required number of vehicles till today.

It is that the State Transport Department has not been able to arrange the required number of vehicles for Tamenglong, Chandel and Churachandpur districts till today.
A State Transport Department official said that they could not engage the required number of vehicles as many private vehicle owners have refused to send their vehicles to hill districts this time.
Moreover, the number of vehicles, which operate inter-district passenger service, have reduced in the past few years, he added.
However, a vehicle owner said that the State Transport Department officials could not engage the required number of vehicles as the charge, fixed by the Government, is too low.
On the other hand, it is said that the Government has not cleared the due amount for many vehicles, which were hired in the last Lok Sabha elections, till date.
