Imphal, July 03 2023:
Democratic Students' Alliance of Manipur (DESAM) has appealed to the authority concerned to reduce the fare of chopper service from Jiribam to Imphal.
In a release, DESAM pointed out the state government is arranging chopper services for specific districts at subsidised rate whereas the fare from Jiribam to Imphal is Rs 3800 .
Since there are no other means of transportation from Jiribam to Imphal in case of emergency needs owing to the unrest situation in the state and the students are facing inconveniences in getting admissions in schools and colleges, the state government and the helicopter service providers should cut the rate from Jiribam to Imphal, the release appealed while also urging the government to address sense of insecurity while traveling on the NH-37 .
