Imphal, June 12 2016:
Following the incident at
Thongju Boroi Makhong
where a Van driver report-
edly rammed into protesters,
All Manipur School
Students' Transporter
Association (AMSSTA) has
appealed to all the student
transporters to put yellow
stickers on their respective
vehicle to differentiate
student tranportation services
from the others.Student
carrying vehicle had recently
ran into a group of women
staging protest demonstration
at Thongju Boroi Makhong
and caused injuries to some
womenfolk.
Terming the incident as
unfortunate, AMSSTA said
that though the driver must
have been at fault, setting
the vehicle ablaze could
have been prevented
considering the driver's
plights.
The driver had
been looking after his
family by earning meagre
income from transporting
school students.
Setting the
vehicle on fire has further
aggravated condition of his
family, it said in a
statement.
All the student
transporters should stick a
yellow sticker on their
respective vehicle so that
general public can be
familiar with student
carrying vehicles.
