Imphal, June 22 2022:
All Yairipok Local Truck Sintha Association has imposed an indefinite ban on entry of heavy vehicles such as Hydra, 10-wheelers, excavators, pollen tippers, etc., which are used for stone and sand quarrying purposes in Thoubal river.
In a statement, Association president Md Hamid informed that majority of the heavy vehicles enter Yairipok for quarrying in Thoubal river.
If the locals were to quarry using a smaller vehicle (Tata Truck) even for a day, police immediately detain them, while turning a blind eye to the larger vehicles which are quarrying day and night without a care in the world.
Thus, the Association has imposed an indefinite ban on entry and any quarrying activity in the area from Wednesday.
Anyone found violating the ban will be solely responsible for any unwanted consequences, he cautioned.
