Imphal, December 15 2013:
While endorsing the stir of closing down government offices by several students' unions based in Jiribam since December 4, All Manipur Road Transport Drivers' and Motor Works' Union (AMRTD and MWU) has stated that the demands made by the students' unions are legitimate and reasonable and urged the State Government to initiate action on the demands so as to solve the matter soon.
In a press release, the Union pointed out that owing to the stir, around 400 empty trucks which have left from Imphal for transporting rice from Jiribam have been stranded on the way and are facing lots of difficulties.
The Union further appealed to the DGP and ADC Jiribam to intervene into the matter and bring an early solution.
