Imphal, July 27 2015:
The dusk to dawn auto-rickshaw cease-work strike called by the drivers on Monday passed off peacefully.
During the strike the drivers also staged sit-in protests at several places.
Some drivers said that being daily wage earners it is a big loss if they abstain from work for a whole day.
However they decided to strike demanding implementation of the inner line permit.
They also said that the government should take firm steps against the police personnel involved in the killing of Sapam Robinhood.
There was no untoward incident during the strike.
However many sections of people who have been depending on the autorickshaws could not move around.
City bus, taxi and other public transports are almost nil in and around Imphal.
