Imphal, July 07 2023:
The All India Trade Union Congress Manipur State Committee (AITUC-MSC) has appealed to all transporters to avoid National Highway-2 until enough se- curity and road opening parties are deployed.
AITUC-MSC, in a statement, also urged the Chief Security Advisor and the Chief Minister to take up necessary measures to ensure safe passage of transporters along the highway which was blocked for nearly two months.
Due to rain, landslides and rising potholes along National Highway-37, the hardships of drivers and handymen have been compounded.
The resumption of transportation services along the NH-2 will only be possible when the Senapati to Sekmai stretch is sanitized with adequate ROP and security personnel are deployed and flag marches are conducted in sensitive areas round the clock, it observed, AITUC-MSC further appealed to the State Govemment to ensure plenty of State force convoys as escorts to the trucks passing the route.
