Imphal, October 23 2014:
All Manipur Petroleum Tanker Drivers' Union has called off its steering-off stir and decision not to unload fuel at OIC oil depot at Chingmeirong today.
The union had imposed the stir in condemnation of the unfounded charges leveled against its president, Bhupendra Ghosh that he had assaulted an oil tanker driver identified as Niman Lama (31) from Kanglatongbi over unloading fuel at IOC depot.
Informing this in a press meet at Inter State Bus Terminus at Chingmeirong, Kh Inaoba, president of National Highway no 53/37 Truck Owners' Welfare Association said that a meeting was held with Minister of CAF & PD, Moirangthem Okendro on the matter.

He stated that besides him,the meeting was attended by Y Bhupendra Ghosh; president of All Manipur Petroleum Tanker Drivers' Union; M Bimol, general secretary of Inter State Bus Association; A Deven, general secretary of All Manipur Transporters' Association; IS Singh, Manager of IOC Chingmeirong; Konthoujam Sarat, MLA Konthoujam Constituency and Khsetrimayum Biren, MLA Lamlai Constituency.
Saying that the matter was blown out of proportion by some vested individuals to malign the image of Bhupendra Ghosh, he demanded the tanker driver to tender an apology before Ghosh at the earliest.
All Manipur Road Transport Drivers & Motor Workers' Union had remained as a silent spectator when some drivers of the State were assaulted by unidentified persons in Assam but now the union is showing keen interest to trap Ghosh by leveling unfounded charges against him which is not true at all, he pointed out.
He confided that the stir was called off in view of the ensuing Ningol Chakouba festival.
Bhupendra Ghosh; M Bimol and A Deven were also present during the meet.
