Jiribam, November 08 2023:
All Jiribam Road Transport Drivers' Union (AJRTDU) appealed to All Naga Students' Association Manipur (ANSAM) to look for other form of protest rather than imposing economic blockade along national highways as it is causing immense suffering to stranded truck drivers'.
AJRTDU president Nongmaithem Sadananda told media persons on Wednesday that more than 500 trucks are currently stranded along NH-37 road at different places in Jiribam due to the economic blockade imposed by ANSAM.
Though the blockade came into effect from November 2, trucks remained stranded in Jiribam since November 1 and drivers have exhausted their ration stock and have no money to purchase food.
He appealed ANSAM to lift the blockade and look for other form of agitation in the interest of suffering drivers and general public.
