Imphal, July 07 2023:
While appealing to transporters to stop plying along the National Highway-02 (Imphal-Dimapur road) till deployment of Road Opening Patrols (ROPs) in suffi-cient strength, All India Trade Union Congress/Manipur State Committee (AITUC) urged the chief minister and the chief security advisor to take up stringent security measures along the highway.
In a release, AITUC Manipur secretary A Sharatchandra observed that even if drivers and handymen are facing se-rious inconveniences due to poor condition of the National Highway-37 (Imphal-Jiribam road) transport agencies from outside as well as of the state should avoid taking the NH-02 route till the government arrange ROPs from Senapati to Sekmai and intense patrolling or flag march in sensitive areas by security forces.
The transporters should also operate as and when the unified command chairman formally declares the highway safe, he stressed.
