Imphal, January 25 2019:
Stating that an amateur body like Highway Truck Owners Welfare Organisation (HITOWO) which was established just a few years back cannot do as it pleases along National Highway 3, the Senapati District Drivers' Welfare Union has announced that the said organisation is banned with immediate effect in the hill districts of the State.
Speaking to media persons at North AOC today, Drivers Welfare Union president D Lokho explained that the drivers are risking their lives along the two National Highways of the State so as to bring in much needed supplies and essential commodities for the people of the State.
He then claimed that it is high time for the authority concerned to look into the recent antics of HITOWO along the National Highways which have created numerous inconveniences for the drivers.
If the Government fails to take control of the situation, the drivers might rise in protest one day, Lokho warned.
