Imphal, June 29 2017:
Zeliangrong Youth Front (ZYF) has urged the State Government to include Tamenglong district in the next phase of Manipur State Transport service in order to mitigate sufferings of the people of the district .
In a press release, ZYF said the State Government's assurance and commitment to bring the people who are living in the interior and far flung areas closer with other people of the State have materialised and translated into action by reviving the Manipur State Transport system by way of launching bus service from Pherzawl to Imphal in the first phase to be followed by connecting the other destinations which really deserve deep appreciation .
It reiterated that the front submitted a memorandum to the Chief Minister on June 10 last demanding implementation of MST system in the sub-divisions on top priority for the people of Tamenglong district, who have been facing difficulties and extreme hardships especially in transportation sector .
The suffering of the people compounded since the discontinuation of erstwhile Manipur State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) system coupled with the exorbitant amount charged by private vehicle operators as travelling fares.
As such, providing MST service at the earliest would eradicate the suffering of the people, ZYF said in the release.
