Imphal, April 11 2022:
Some DI Tata vehicles transporting goods along Imphal-Moreh are allegedly being detained at Tengnoupal check gate since Saturday by Assam Rifles without giving any reason.
Drivers of the detained vehicles informed media persons that they are being prohibited from crossing Tengnoupal gate by AR since Saturday and AR's self-styled action is harassing drivers from rendering service along the highway.
The detained drivers also said that AR is denying transportation of even wheat flour to Moreh and disrupting transportation of goods along the highway for the last many years.
While informing that DC Tengnoupal has been apprised about the arbitrary detention of DI vehicles by AR, they cautioned that drivers who are doing service along the highway might be compelled to launch intense forms of agitation if the AR continues to harass the transport operators.
