Imphal, May 13 2018:
The Joint Administrative Council All Manipur Under Five Tonne Passenger Service has decided to launch a 48 hour cease work strike of all passenger auto rickshaw, Tata magic, wingers etc from the midnight of May 13 till the midnight of May 15 as protest against the decision of the Government to prohibit entry of such vehicles within Imphal.
A press release issued by the convenor of the association claimed that the council has submitted numerous memo to the Traffic Regulation and Parking Committee as well as the authorities concerned to consider the plight of the people who earn their livelihood by providing passenger services but to no avail and as such the council is forced to take up the drastic step of launching a cease work strike.
It also appealed to all the passenger service providers to cease work during the said days and to fully support the protest of the council.
