Imphal, August 09, 2013:
Members of Auto Rickshaw Association, Tamenglong (ARAT) and Auto Rickshaw Cum Maruti Van Association, Tamenglong (ARMAT) on Friday joined hands together in staging a rally to demand improvement of the deplorable Tamenglong- Khongsang road.
Flagging off from Mini Stadium, Tamenglong, the rallyists passed through the main market area and later submitted a memorandum to Deputy Commissioner, Tamenglong at his office chamber.
However, the DC, Tamenglong rejected to accept the memorandum.
It may be noted that Joint Forum for Transport Welfare, Tamenglong District in collaboration with Zeliangrong Youth Front, Tamenglong Zone and Zeliangrong Students' Union, Tamenglong District had earlier served an ultimatum to the Deputy Commissioner, Tamenglong for starting the road construction work on or before 10 August 2013 and warned of boycotting the forthcoming Independence Day celebration at Tamenglong.
The agitating bodies had even conducted poster campaign to press the demand.
