Vehicular Move To Imphal Valley Restored
During the ongoing tensions in Manipur, supplies to the Imphal Valley were cut off due to roadblocks and consequent fear among transporters. As a consequence, the state of essential supplies in the state was dwindling and beginning to reach critical levels.
Army & Assam Rifles stepped in to assure protection to vehicles carrying essential goods from/ to Imphal. On 15 May, a convoy of 28 vehicles including trucks, fuel tankers, JCB, etc carrying rice, sugar, pulses, and fuel moved under the escort of CRPF and Manipur Police from Noney to Imphal. Prophylactic domination of the area was provided by Assam Rifles to ensure safe passage to the convoy which reached Imphal safely by afternoon.
In addition, monitoring was also ensured through Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Seeing the desire for peace which visibly manifested in the incident-free move of the vehicles on 15 May, another set of approximately 100 vehicles were moved on 16 & 17 May. Security Forces remain committed to restoring normalcy and the commencement of movement of the vehicles on NH 37 is another step towards normalcy in Manipur.
