AITUC has been demanding to deploy a Highway Protection Force since the conflict began in Manipur but it has not been fulfilled yet. Nobody even raised the issue in the Assembly. Now we will no longer wait, AITUC general secretary L Sotinkumar said.
“We hope the concerned authorities will take up necessary precautionary measures to conduct the second phase of election with no violence,” INDIA bloc Manipur unit secretary Kshetrimayum Shanta said.
CPI-MSC L Sotinkumar former secretary highlighted that unauthorised parking, street vendors and unwarranted garbage dumping were some of the primary concerns strangling Irabot road at the moment.
