According to a credible source, the truck was detained along the Yairipok- Kasom Khullen Road yesterday around 11: 30 am by meira paibis and local volunteers after they discovered 200 gunny bags containing sarong-like clothing items resembling 'phanek' or 'lungri' .
As the concerned parties could not arrive at an understanding, the truck and clothing items were detained and local meira paibis guarded them through the night.
It may be noted that a public meeting of all local clubs and meira paibi associations of Yairipok area and representatives of Gram Panchayat and Zilla Parishad had been held with the participation of the three truck occupants as well.
The meeting had resolved that the real owner of the clothing items must come forward by 9 am today.
However, as no one stepped forward, the locals and meira paibi associations came together and torched the gunny bags containing clothing items.
