Imphal, July 15 2019:
Around 200 empty oil tankers and LPG bullet TTs have started plying on Imphal-Jiribam highway from today.
As certain sections of Imphal-Dimapur highway are in very bad shape, oil tanker and LPG bullet TT drivers stopped plying on the highway.
When oil tankers and LPG bullet TTs were plying on Imphal-Dimapur highway, empty tankers and LPG bullet TTs leave Imphal four times a week while loaded tankers reached Imphal three days a week.
However, it is not yet clear how many trips of empty tankers from Imphal and loaded tankers to Imphal would be there in a week.
Meanwhile, it is reported that loaded oil tankers and LPG bullet TTs which were earlier stranded at Khatkhati may reach Jiribam tomorrow.
The CRPF team which escorted empty oil tankers and LPG bullets from Imphal today would escort the loaded oil tankers and LPG bullet TTs from Jiribam to Imphal.
