Imphal, January 31 2015 :
The Joint Action Committee (JAC) Imphal Moreh Road Transporters has extended its support to the indefinite Imphal-Moreh road bandh being called by the residents of Tengnoupal against the alleged inhuman activities of 24 Assam Rifles.
In a press communiqu�, the transporters' associa-tion said that for the last couple of years, Assam Rifles have been brewing trouble for people residing in Tengnoupal and Khudengthabi areas and also to vehicles plying along the road on the pretext of vehicle and individual verification.
Further, the association questioned stationing of two posts of Assam Rifles within such a short distance at Tangnoupal and Khudengthabi, and also the mode of verification.
Vehicles and passengers are verified by two or three personnel of Assam Rifle and goods have to be offloaded for verification.
Frequent loading and offloading not only delay travel time but also cause inconvenience to the passengers, added JAC.
However, the association clarified that it is not against verification but questioned why all the vehicles have to be verified and expressed wonder at the effectiveness of Assam Rifles intelligence units.
