Moreh, October 03 2019:
The All Tribal Sandstone Labour Association, Moreh has threatened to impose an indefinite blockade on Imphal-Moreh highway if transportation of sand from Moreh to other places is not allowed within 48 hours.
According to Hill Tribal Council, Moreh spokesman PS Gangte, more than 30 tipper trucks loaded with sand have been stranded for four days at K Zalenmoul village along Imphal-Moreh highway as they are not allowed to pass through Assam Rifles Khudengthabi check post on the ground that the tipper trucks do not possess transit passes.

However, when members of the All Tribal Sandstone Labour Association, Moreh went to Forest Department to take transit pass for the sand loaded trucks, they were told that transit pass for transportation of sand should be obtained from Industry Department.
Even as members of the association went to different departments to obtain transit pass, they have been passing the responsibility of issuing transit pass to each other thereby leaving the association helpless.
Saying that sand miners, labourers, truck drivers and owners have been enduring grave difficulties on account of not allowing transportation of sand, PS Gangte threatened that an indefinite blockade would be imposed on Imphal-Moreh highway if transportation of sand from Moreh to other places is not allowed within 48 hours.
