IMPHAL, Jun 26 : The All India Trade Union Congress-Manipur State Committee (AITUC-MSC) has proposed reopening of the Imphal-Dimapur Highway (NH-2).
In a statement, AITUC-MSC noted that the highway has been blocked since the communal clash erupted and it has affected all truck drivers ferrying goods and people along the highway, irrespective of their (drivers') community background.
Meanwhile, the condition of Imphal Jiribam highway (NH-37) is getting further deteriorated with the arrival of the rainy season and plying of more heavy vehicles has badly affected Irang bridge rendering ban on movement of 12 wheeler truck. As such transportation of essential commodities and infrastructural items will be hit and result in price rise, the State committee said. Citing the situation, AITUC-MSC drew the attention of the Security Advisor, Kuldiep Singh to take necessary measures to open the highway in a secured manner.
