Imphal, October 13 2022:
The Government of Nagaland has barred movement of trucks with more than 10 wheels on Dimapur-Khuzama section of Imphal-Dimapur highway from October 13 to November 13 .
Taking serious note of the restriction imposed by the Government of Nagaland in connection with construction of railway track, the Manipur Drivers Association, Senapati Truck Drivers Union and the Senapati Truck Owners Association have urged the State Government to persuade the Nagaland Government and ensure that the restriction is lifted in view of the Ningol Chakkouba festival.
A joint press release issued by the three organisations conveyed fear that the restriction imposed on movement of trucks with more than 10 wheels on Dimapur-Khuzama section may create artificial scarcity of commodities in Manipur.
