Imphal, June 19 2012:
Reacting against the order of General Manager of FCI Regional Office, Dimapur which instructs them to lift 80 percent of FCI items from Dimapur along NH-2, transporters refused to unload PDS items at the FCI godowns located at Sangaiprou and Koirengei.
The agitation initiated by Transporters' and Drivers' Council (TDC) has received support from All Manipur Road Transporters' and Drivers' Union and National Highway 37 United Clubs Organisation as well.
It may be noted that more than 150 loaded trucks are stationing at Sangaiprou and Koirengei without unloading their contents.
The agitating transportors demanded equal share of transport in both highways and shifting of the FCI Regional Office at Dimapur to Imphal.
